Hi, basically my 4 year old daughter has all of a sudden become interested in flowers and things growing in and around our garden.
She would like something that she can start from a seed and watch it grow.
Sunflowers were the obvious choice but i think its the wrong time of year for that.
Can anyone recommend anything else for her? Bear in mind it would have to stay in pots as my garden is all concrete.
Ta.

Nastursiums could work. They are quick growing and I've noticed some self seeded ones just germinating in my garden
Some Spring flowering bulbs might be nice, if she can wait that long to see the flowers. Daffs. can be planted now.
for the fag ends of the aristocracy.
Autumn flowering crocus bulbs are in the garden centres now - you could plant one of those and have flowers in a few weeks
try growing Acorns or hazel nuts ,my kids grew hundreds and the squirrel plants a lot too! there easy and fun. I still have the one my daughter grew 30 years ago and my neighbour too!
Cheers for the input people.
I'll show her some pictures and see what she wants.
More suggestions welcome.
Pansy and Viola seeds should be easy to grow from seeds outside now. grow quick and flower well in to late autumn
