Biennials
Can anyone help. I want to sow some biennials for next year but really don't want to direct sow as I never get good results and don't have any areas of bare soil in the right places. I really want to sow in trays or modules to nurture and grow on for planting in autumn or next spring, will this work. Any suggestions/help would be gratefully received

That's fantastic, thank you. Are there any that you've found don't work or that very much do?
Great. I've got both some nice pink tones wallflowers and lovely white foxgloves so I'll get cracking this weekend. Thanks very much

To add to the list, Bellis does well with me and flowers early, bee's love them. Also if you grow herbs, parsley. I'm trying Holly Hock and wallflower this year.
Cornflowers do well if the winter is mild, like the one we've just had. I keep these in the GH in pots to over winter.
I sow cornflowers at the same time as sweet pea in the GH. They've over wintered 2 out of the past 3 years, you need to fleece them if the temp drops to low. Can't remember which variety I grow but the flowers are blue/purple in colour.
Don't be lulled into trying 'snowman', that one didn't get through this winter.
