What Flower Seed Should You Sow This Year? Take Our Quiz to Find Out
There’s a flower seed to suit everyone – and this fun 8-question quiz will help you find yours.
Choosing what to grow in your garden can feel surprisingly emotional. One minute you’re dreaming of armfuls of flowers and sun-drenched afternoons, the next you’re standing in front of a seed display wondering what on earth will actually survive your schedule, your soil, and your climate. We get it: it's inspiring, but ever so slightly overwhelming.
The truth is, the best flower seed to sow isn’t necessarily the trendiest one or the prettiest packet on the shelf. It’s the one that fits you: your garden’s light levels, your USDA planting zone, how much time you realistically have, and, yes, your personality, too.
Some of us love a high-maintenance, show-stopping bloom. Others want something that quietly thrives with minimal fuss. The rest of us have no clue, quite frankly. And that’s where this quiz comes in. By asking a few simple questions about your space, your style, and how you actually live, it helps narrow things down to a flower you’re far more likely to enjoy growing and succeed with.
So grab a cup of joe, answer instinctively, and don’t overthink it. At the end, you’ll get a flower that suits your garden and you, along with a little insight into why it’s such a good fit.
