Great video and information. Thank you for sharing. I think you might have inadvertently shown stock images of Lupine when you were talking about Delphinium.
Thank you Matthew and I’m really pleased you enjoyed the video. Yes, I made an error during the editing but I do appreciate you pointing this out. Kind regards. Gary
Thanks. That's really helpful as I'm quite ignorant and saw the lupins and thought, I don't like them. But looked up delphs and love those.so now I might sow some.
Thank you , I didn’t realise you could still sow so many flowers in July , I thought after May I’d missed the boat. I shall watch again and write down your suggestions.
Thank you very much for your comment Lynda. Yes, there are still quite a few flowers that can be sown now to give an extended splash of colour into the autumn and beyond. Definitely give sine if my suggestions a try, there are some lovely flowers to try. Kind regards. Gary

Thank you for all the advice. Max is gorgeous ❤
Thank you very much for your comment, I’m pleased you enjoyed the video and Max! Kind regards. Gary
Foxgloves are another one to sow now for flowering next year they give a spectacular display and the bees love them
Hi Chris and thank you for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Foxgloves are another one of those tall bold flowers that I love and as you point out the attract plenty of bees which are always great for the garden. Kind regards Gary.
Do you cold stratify the foxglove seeds before sowing in July? Or can you just direct sow in beds or pots?
@@cejanuary9378 I just sow direct
@@chrisfarrell8796 Thank you! I'm going to try that.
thank you great flowers to try 😊
Thank you very much for your comment Beth, I’m pleased you like the flowers I suggested. Kind regards. Gary
I’m growing cornflower, cosmos and African daisies together, dahlias, caladium, and sweet pea. I just started them last week and so far everything is sprouting except the African daisies and sweet pea. I’m growing everything in pots but they are outside on my porch. I’m in Pennsylvania in the US
That sounds like a lovely selection of flowers and growing in pots also gives you the chance to move them if the weather gets too hot or cold. It’s nice to know that you are watching my videos from the US and I hope you are enjoying the channel. Kind regards. Gary
If I can bear the heat, you’ve inspired me to sow a few seeds today.
Catanache returned as a surprise to my garden this year. Guess it self seeded. You won’t be disappointed. The prettiest of petal arrangements.
Hi Deborah, yes the heat is stifling and it could be our hottest day ever in the UK! I love it when flowers self seed, a real bonus! Kind regard. Gary
Nice one again Gary bach
Thank you very much for your comment which I’d greatly appreciated and I’m really pleased you enjoyed the video. Kind regards. Gary
🌻 sunflowers
Thank you for your comment. Sunflowers are a real favourite and add a really bright splash of colour to the flower garden. Kind regards. Gary
Thank you for so much encouragement. Does the same apply to curly parsley.
Antherinum(snapdragons) and sweet William.
Hi Gary, another great video, just a suggestion - perhaps you could put a list of the seeds in the comments - watching whilst cleaning the kitchen, and had to keep pausing to write a list 😁
Thank you very much for your comment and suggestion which is greatly appreciated. I’m really pleased you enjoyed the video and I will add lists as you suggest in the comments for future videos. Kind regards. Gary
Hi I like to growing nice flowers for bees a butterfly to month as well
Thank you for your comment Caroline which is greatly appreciated. Me too, as well as the flowers adding colour and beauty to the garden it’s lovely to see bees and butterflies in the garden. Kind regards. Gary
And sunflowers at my parent’s house
Wonderful. I love sunflowers and grow them myself! Kind regard. Gary
Thank you❣️I broke my arm and am way behind! I need to sow many of these so they come up next year. Which, if any, are annuals and won’t come up in the spring?
I really appreciate this video!!! Thanks again!
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated and I hope your arm is recovering and wish you a speedy recovery.
The vast majority of flowers in the video are annuals although you can get winter varieties of pansy’s and coleus can be sown all year round although these will need to be sown in pots or containers later in the year so that they can be bought inside during the coldest temperatures. There are other hardy or half hardy flowers that can grow through the winter months ready to flower in spring and I may do another video about this with some suggestions very soon. Kind regards. Gary
Sunflowers, zinnias and too many others to list, haha I just found your channel and enjoyed watching. Can you please tell me the kind and name of that beautiful 🌹 rose behind you? It is gorgeous! I am mostly attracted to the bold bright colors!
Thank you very much for your comment and I’m really pleased you found my channel and enjoyed the video. The rose is really beautiful and as you point out it is a stunning red colour. The label on the plant just says ‘Red Rose’ but does not appear to indicate any particular variety. I’m away at the moment but I will take a closer look when I get home and see if I can see the actual variety. We’ve had the rose for years and it produces an amazing display every year. Kind regards. Gary
What Zone are these recommendations for?
Thank you very much for your comment. I am based in the centre of the UK which is growing zone 8. Kind regards. Gary
Hollyhocks and sweet peas
Those are lovely flowers Caroline and such a range of lovely varieties and colours available. Kind regards. Gary
The slugs ate almost all my plants, which I started in April, and in 1 night they were gone. So, thanks for this video of 'hope' for my garden, and for me. I like your selection, and will try them. (We've got the slug problem under control, for now. According to the experts this year is especially bad for gardens, because they multiplied 10 fold. I'm in Denmark, just wondering if it is the same in the UK.)
I planted lovely dahlias and gladiolus an bloody slugs ate them before they flowered! So I bought wooden boxes an planters . I have 4 lots of hydrangeas but I won’t ground plant them I keep them in large pots x
Hi Gary I love your videos, my night scented stock is still tiny! I potted on from seedlings but not done much since. Some are falling over not sure if it's the wind or slugs. They're in my greenhouse so not too windy but they were near the door, I've moved them further in and a bit of shade. Do you think they will do ok? Thanks Nick 👍
Hi Nick and thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Night scented stock are quite small and spindly plants so I think what you are describing is quite normal. Now that the temperatures are reasonable I would think about planting them outside in beds or pots in their final positions. Once they establish they should become more vibrant and slightly larger. I hope this helps and let me know how you get on. Kind regards. Gary
@@TheAllotmentGardenandKitchen when I put them in their final position should I put them deep up to the first leaves? They seem leggey to me and the stems are about 1mm thick at the moment and only an inch tall and very delicate! I did a tray of about 60 and about 40 are ok still but they keep dropping. Thanks Gary.👍
@@nickthegardener.1120 hi Nick. Yes when you transplant them I would plant them up to their first leaves. They are a whispy type of flower so they will continue to grow that way but when transplanted they should bulk out a little. Kind regards. Gary
Thanks for this video. I didn't know that you could still grow flowers in July. Do you have any problems with slugs eating the seedlings? I have lost quite a few plants through slugs.
Max is adorable.
Hi Rose and thank you for your comment which is greatly appreciated. I have much less of a problem with slugs with my flowers compared to my Veg but I do lose a very small number of flowers. Kind regards. Gary
Try adding crushed egg shells around the base of your plants. Not only does it add calcium to the soil , but slugs won't like the sharp edges on their soft underside.
I’m trying hyssop and zinnias cactus giants.
Thank you very much for your comment which is really appreciated. I’ve not grown hyssop or that variety of Zinnias before so thank you for the suggestions which I will definitely take a look at. Kind regards. Gary
Pansies don't do good in hot areas,.more for fall
Do love flowers and veggies in my garden but just in July this year the horrible heat the world is experiencing…..killed all my plantingbeautes
I Amat Southern. CA and don’t know what to do
Any suggestions?? We are getting. Daly 3 digits temperatures from 109 till 120.
My gardener told wait. for December t plant again '!!
Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Very warm temperatures often make it more difficult to grow vegetables and flowers.
Do you have any areas of your garden which are in the shade, if not you could create shade with some simple screening, this would help in the really hot temperatures. Also, regular and consistent watering would be needed probably a few times a day in the hottest temperatures. The other alternative, as you gardener pointed out is to wait until the temperature comes down. I do sympathise as here in the UK we are currently experiencing one of the wettest July’s I can remember. Kind regards. Gary
sir can i grow callendula in mid july?
Thank you very much for your comment. Last sowing of Calendula will depend upon where you are located in the world. Here in the UK we can make late sowings in July which will give us some lovely flowers up until late September or early October when we can expect our first frosts. If you live in a warmer climate you may get flowers even later in the year. Kind regards. Gary
The price on the calendula seed packet says 50p. Can someone tell me what that is in US$?
Thank you very much for your question. The exchange rate between GB Pounds (and Pence) varies based on the exchange rate however at present 50 UK pence or 0.5 pounds is equivalent to 0.57 USD or just under 60 cents. I hope this answers your question and kind regards. Gary
