Flower seeds (پھولوں کے بیج) bring seasonal colour to pots, borders, raised beds, balcony planters and rooftop gardens. Choose cool-season flowers such as Pansy, Petunia, Alyssum and Calendula, warm-season flowers such as Zinnia, Vinca, Balsam and Cockscomb, or flowering vines such as Morning Glory and Butterfly Pea.
Autumn sowing prepares most winter flowers for blooming from winter into spring. Warm-season flowers are started as temperatures rise or during late summer when the most severe heat begins to ease.

Check whether the selected flower grows low, forms a branching plant or develops tall stems. This determines whether it belongs at the front of a border, in an individual pot or beside a wall and support.
Winter Flowers
Pansy or Gul Banafsha (گل بنفشہ) produces broad flowers in mixed colours and performs best during cool weather. It suits individual pots, window boxes and the front of winter beds.
Petunia or Gul Atlas (گل اطلس) develops trumpet-shaped flowers on spreading or rounded plants. Mixed Petunia provides several colours, while named F1 varieties such as Black, Blue Star, Red Star and Picotee types provide a more specific flower pattern.
Calendula or Gul Ashrafi (گل اشرفی) produces yellow and orange flowers on upright branching plants. Sunset Buff offers a softer flower colour within the same group.
Alyssum stays low and forms clusters of small flowers. It works well along pot edges, between larger plants or at the front of a border. Candytuft, Nemesia and Five Spot can be used in similar low positions.
Phlox, Dianthus, Sweet William and Carnation provide clusters or repeated flowers on compact to medium plants. These varieties fit naturally into mixed winter beds and separate pots.
Antirrhinum, commonly called Snapdragon, produces upright flower spikes. Larkspur, Lupine, Hollyhock and Foxglove also add height, so place them behind Pansy, Alyssum and other low-growing flowers.
Poppy, Cornflower, Daisy, Aster, Stock, Cineraria and Chrysanthemum provide additional choices for winter and spring displays. Their final height and spread vary, so use the individual product page when planning spacing.
Summer Flowers
Zinnia is a dependable warm-season flower for sunny pots and beds. California Giant and other tall types need more room than compact varieties. Regular removal of faded flower heads helps branching plants continue forming buds.
Vinca or Sada Bahar (سدا بہار) handles warm conditions once established. Mixed seeds provide several colours, while named F1 varieties offer specific shades and flower patterns.
Balsam or Gul Mehndi develops flowers along fleshy upright stems. It suits garden beds and medium to large pots protected from severe afternoon heat during the hottest part of summer.
Cockscomb and Celosia produce distinctive crested or feathery flower heads. These upright plants make useful centre or background features in sunny containers.
Portulaca stays low and spreads across hot, sunny positions. Its fleshy leaves tolerate shorter dry periods better than Petunia or Pansy, although young plants still need regular moisture while establishing.
Gaillardia produces red, orange and yellow flowers on branching plants. Rudbeckia develops yellow flowers with darker centres. Both suit sunny beds and separate pots with open drainage.
Cosmos produces fine foliage and daisy-shaped flowers. Taller types benefit from an open position where their stems will not crowd shorter plants. Amaranthus and Sunflower can also provide height in summer displays.
Flowering Vines
Morning Glory produces fast climbing stems with trumpet-shaped flowers. The collection includes mixed colours and named forms such as Crimson, Orange, Pink Pastel Star, Ruffled Red and white Moon Flower.
Butterfly Pea develops blue, purple or white pea-shaped flowers. It can remain perennial in mild, frost-free areas and is commonly grown as a warm-season vine where winters are cold.
Cypress Vine has fine foliage and small star-shaped flowers. Alamo Vine and other vigorous climbers need a trellis, fence or railing from an early stage.
Sweet Pea is a cool-season flowering vine. Sow it during autumn in most plains areas and provide netting or thin supports for its tendrils. Do not group it with warm-season Morning Glory when planning the sowing month.
Use one vigorous vine in a container approximately 12 to 16 inches wide and deep. Secure the support before the stems spread, especially on exposed rooftops.
Flowers for Pots
Compact Alyssum, Pansy, Candytuft and Nemesia can grow in pots around 6 to 8 inches wide. Several plants may be arranged in a longer window box while leaving enough room for airflow.
Petunia, Phlox, Calendula, Dianthus, Vinca and Portulaca suit pots approximately 8 to 12 inches wide. One branching plant per pot makes watering and feeding easier to control.
Zinnia, Balsam, Cockscomb, Gaillardia, Dahlia and tall Marigold types benefit from pots or grow bags around 10 to 14 inches wide.
Tall Hollyhock, Lupine, Foxglove, Sunflower and large Cosmos types perform more comfortably in open beds or deep containers around 12 to 16 inches wide. Protect tall stems from strong rooftop wind.
Avoid placing several vigorous plants in one small pot. Crowded roots dry rapidly, while overlapping leaves reduce airflow around the lower stems.
Sowing Time
In Lahore, Faisalabad, Islamabad and Rawalpindi, sow Pansy, Petunia, Alyssum, Calendula, Phlox, Dianthus, Poppy, Sweet Pea and other cool-season flowers from September through November.
Start Zinnia, Vinca, Balsam, Cockscomb, Portulaca, Rudbeckia, Amaranthus and warm-season vines from February through April. A second sowing of suitable summer flowers can begin during July and August as the strongest heat starts easing.
In Karachi, sow most cool-season flowers from October through December. Warm-season flowers can be started from January through March or from August through October, depending on the variety and local heat.
In southern Punjab, October and November suit winter flowers. Start warm-season varieties during February and March, with another sowing opportunity during July and August.
In colder northern and hilly areas, cool-season flowers can be started from August through October or during early spring. Sow frost-sensitive Vinca, Portulaca, Balsam, Celosia and warm-season vines after nights become reliably mild.
Use the season stated on the individual product page when flowers from different temperature groups appear together in this collection.
How to Sow
- Fill a labelled seedling tray or small pots with a loose seed-starting mixture.
- Sow fine Petunia, Alyssum, Portulaca and Cineraria seeds on the surface or beneath a very light covering.
- Cover medium and large seeds at the depth stated on the product page.
- Water with a fine spray and keep the mixture lightly moist without leaving it saturated.
- Move established seedlings after several true leaves appear, keeping delicate roots and their surrounding mixture together.
A loose seed starter mix helps very small seeds receive even moisture. Keep seed trays in bright light after germination so the stems develop short and firm.
Morning Glory, Butterfly Pea, Sweet Pea, Nasturtium and other larger seeds can be planted individually. Firm-coated vine seeds may be soaked for several hours before sowing.
Poppy and other flowers that dislike root disturbance can be sown carefully in their final position or moved while the seedlings are still small.
Plant Care
-
Sunlight: Provide 6 to 8 hours for most flowering plants, with protection from severe afternoon heat for delicate cool-season varieties
-
Soil: Use a loose mixture containing organic matter with open drainage
-
Watering: Water when the upper layer begins drying, adjusting for plant size, heat and wind
-
Spacing: Keep leaves from several mature plants from forming one dense, damp mass
-
Feeding: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer during active growth
-
Support: Stake tall stems and provide trellises for flowering vines
-
Cleaning: Remove diseased leaves and faded flowers before they decay among healthy stems
Inspect new leaves and flower buds for aphids, whiteflies, mites, thrips and caterpillars. Check the undersides of leaves because early pest activity may not be visible from above.
Water the soil instead of repeatedly soaking open flowers and dense foliage. In humid or rainy weather, wider spacing and morning watering help leaves dry before night.

FAQs
Will mixed flower seeds produce every colour shown?
A packet may contain seeds for several colours, but a small sowing does not guarantee that every possible colour will appear. The final combination depends on the seeds selected from the packet and how many plants reach flowering size.
How should unused flower seeds be stored?
Close the packet securely and keep it in a cool, dry and dark place away from humidity. Write the opening date on the packet because germination can gradually decline during storage, particularly in hot or humid conditions.
Why is my plant producing leaves but few flowers?
Low sunlight and fertilizer containing excessive nitrogen can encourage leafy growth. The wrong season can also delay buds, especially when winter flowers are exposed to heat or warm-season flowers are started in cold conditions.
Should flower seedlings be pinched?
Branching flowers such as Zinnia, Petunia, Balsam and some Marigolds may produce more side shoots after their growing tip is pinched once they are established. Do not pinch naturally single-stemmed varieties unless their product guidance recommends it.
What should I do if heavy rain falls soon after sowing?
Move portable trays beneath a bright covered area. Protect outdoor seedbeds with raised covers that allow airflow, and repair any washed surface mixture without burying emerging seedlings too deeply.
