In the modern world it is difficult to find a garden plot without flowers. To decorate flower beds, gardeners draw up compositions in advance and plan plantings.

This work is carried out annually. To make their work easier, gardeners use a calendar for sowing flower seeds. Why is such data needed, and what benefits does following the calendar recommendations bring? Experts and those who simply grow flowers for pleasure know that each crop requires certain care and conditions. In our climate, many flower varieties cannot grow without human help. And the lunar sowing calendar for flowers for the year contains information about favorable and unfavorable days for sowing.

Calendar for seedlings

Almost any type of flower is grown in seedlings.

This is especially true for exotic or very demanding varieties. The only exception is flowers that cannot tolerate transplantation. In this case, they are grown by direct sowing into the ground.

Seeds of annual, biennial and perennial crops are sown for seedlings. Let us list the advantages of the seedling method:

In this case, annuals will bloom earlier, and varieties with a long growing season will have time to please with their flowering before frost.
It is possible to obtain high-quality plants from very small seeds.If such seeds are sown directly into the ground, they may either not sprout at all or produce very weak plants. Another compelling argument is to pay attention to seedlings of flowers with small seeds. They need good lighting from the first days of sowing. Therefore, when growing seedlings, there is a guarantee that the gardener will provide the seedlings with enough light.

There are several reasons why gardeners are using a calendar for planting flowers for seedlings in 2024:

The calendar contains the exact dates of favorable days for sowing garden flowers for seedlings.
The calendar is based on knowledge about the changing phases of the moon and the influence of the luminary on the development of plants. It is impossible to avoid this influence, and it is very easy to use it usefully if you have a calendar table.
In 2024, the recommendations of the flower sowing calendar will be especially useful when growing new varieties.
Each month indicates several days on which it is recommended to carry out certain work. This allows gardeners from regions with different climates to choose the most suitable numbers.

To explain the structure of the calendar, let's turn to scientific data.

Flowers and lunar rhythms

The influence of the Moon on the growth and development of flowers is very great. After all, the movement of liquids on Earth depends on the position of the Moon in the sky. Flowers, like other plants, receive nutrition from water.

If we take into account the influence of the planet on flower crops, then we need to remember that during the waxing Moon the sap moves upward. When the Moon wanes, the movement changes direction towards the roots.

The lunar calendar tells gardeners good days for planting flowers. This is the day in which sap flow is directed upward to the leaves, and the roots lose their elasticity and become pliable.In this state, they tolerate transplantation more easily, and the flower takes root well.
Gardeners have also noticed that if you sow seeds on an unfavorable day, you may not get a good result. Even high-quality seeds produce poor germination.

Briefly about the influence of the Moon on the development of flowers we can say this:

Waxing is the period from the new moon to the full moon. At this time, tall and lush flowering varieties are planted. They also plan to sow plants with tall stems, but bulbous plants should not be disturbed at this time. It is also better to wait when replanting indoor flowers.
Waning - from full moon to new moon. Now the roots of the flowers are growing well, so it’s time to cut them. At the same time bulbous plants are planted and tuberous flowers or dig them up for storage
On new moon days, plants are given rest and they try not to do any work.
The full moon is the time for collecting seeds and cultivating the land.
Eclipses are also included in the list of unfavorable days for planting or other activities.

To more effectively apply the recommendations of the lunar sowing calendar, let’s consider what types of flowers are allowed for sowing throughout the year.

Advice from astrologers

Every month the moon goes through its cycle. Depending on the phase of passage, the types of work that gardeners can carry out on the site change. We are interested in the question of when to plant flowers according to the lunar calendar.

Let's start from the beginning of the year.

January

A month with few daylight hours and low temperatures. Therefore, the list of flowers for sowing is limited. At the beginning of January, the lunar calendar recommends sowing the following types of flowers for seedlings:

Shabot carnation so that the plant blooms in May-June;
tuberous and ever-flowering begonia for the same purpose;
aquilegia, clematis, perennial delphinium, primrose, perennial violet, irises, lavender, lumbago and varieties that require seed stratification (stimulation by low temperatures);
perennials with hard-germinating seeds covered with a dense shell.

The second half of January is suitable for sowing lobelia, zonal and ivy-leaved pelargonium, heliotrope, and graceful cineraria. You can continue sowing primrose.

To make it easier to navigate by day, a small table has been compiled that shows important days.

February

A more favorable month for sowing due to the increased amount of light. In February they already begin to grow seedlings:

snapdragon (antirrhinum), coleus, Turkish cloves, fragrant tobacco, gray-haired left-handed grass, salvia, passionflower, angustifolia lavender, seaside cineraria, viola, daisy;
Shabot carnations and ever-flowering begonias, if you did not have time to do this in January;
letnikov for hanging containers - petunias, verbena, thunbergia;
fuchsia, cyclamens, balsam, gloxinia for indoor plantings and in the garden.

The end of February is favorable for container marigolds, nemesia and gatsaniya.

It is convenient to regulate the planting of flowers according to the lunar calendar for February 2024 using the table.

March

The busiest month for gardeners. In addition to flowers, plantings of other crops are planned. To wait for your pets to bloom in time, they plan to sow in March:

annuals - ageratum, godetia, gillyflower, aster, gelchisium;
salvia, snapdragon, fragrant tobacco - in addition to the February sowing;
all types of petunia - ampelous, double annual;
bluebells, annual phlox, iberis, climbing kobe, verbena, lobularia (alissum).

The flower planting calendar table will help summer residents during the busy month of planting.

April

In April, many gardeners begin direct sowing in the ground. To speed up germination, the seeds are pre-soaked in water.

Important! The sowing date, according to the lunar calendar, is counted from the day the seeds are soaked, when development processes begin in them.

But for flowers grown using seedlings, the flowering period begins earlier, so the recommendations of the flower planting calendar for 2024 remain relevant.

In April, seeds are sown for seedlings:

fast-growing - sweet peas, zinnia, marigolds, annual phlox, clarkia;
perennials - delphinium, aquilegia (columbine).

You need to choose a day taking into account the recommendations of the moon.

May

Gardeners consider this month to be the most capricious. The most important time to plant flowers can be very cold or very hot. During this period, most often the seeds of annuals with a short growing season are sown directly into the ground. An excellent option is to cover the seedlings with film. In May, perennial bushes are also divided and seeds of asters, marigolds, daisies, and cornflowers are planted. Corms bloom well if planted on suitable dates of the lunar calendar.

June

In June, landing is scheduled:

decorative flowers - balsam, amaranth, begonia, coleus;
biennials for seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse - Turkish carnation, forget-me-not, viola, daisy, hesperis.

In the second half of the month, the remaining seedlings that were sown in the spring and germinated tubers are planted.

The lunar calendar for sowing flowers advises sticking to favorable days for planting in June 2024.
July

The ideal month for cuttings from phlox and roses.If the bulbous leaves have turned yellow, you can start digging. During this period, gardeners divide the roots, take cuttings and remove faded flowers. But these usual works also need to be coordinated with the lunar calendar.

August

With the end of summer, gardeners will not be able to relax. In August it is time to plant perennial tubers in order to achieve flowering next year.

Important! It is recommended to plant flowers that do not require painstaking care at the end of summer.

These include carnations, mallow, delphinium or chamomile.

September

Autumn precipitation has its advantages. Flowers have time to adapt to spring and bloom much earlier. Such plants are distinguished by good hardening and health.

The time has come to plant bulbs - daffodils, tulips, crocuses, hyacinths, snowdrops.

It is best to do this on certain days.

October

In the empty garden, flower growers continue to plant bulbs that did not have time to be immersed in the ground earlier, and dig up tuberous perennials.

The calendar recommends planting flowers on fertile days.

November

November is characterized by its unstable weather. But this does not stop gardeners from continuing to plant flowers. During this period, seeds of calendula, lavatera, mignonette, asters, and marigolds are sown. With this sowing time, seedlings appear very early in the spring, even when the soil is wet and cold. Planting is carried out on days when the plants are helped by the vibrations of the Moon.

December

A good time to plant flowers in the winter garden and on the balcony. At the same time, a new season of sowing seeds for seedlings begins. Some summer residents use an interesting option for sowing seeds in the snow. To do this, you need a layer of snow of at least 25 cm. The seeds are sown in the snow, then covered with a layer of soil and again with a layer of snow.This “layer cake” protects the seeds from the invasion of rodents and birds.

It is better to open the new season according to the recommendations of the lunar calendar.

You can accurately determine the sowing date of your favorite flower, even if it is not in the list of the article. For this purpose, there is a general table of the flower sowing calendar for 2024.
