The small English Daisy (bellis perennis), in a 3.5 in//9 cm pot(shown above), has been flowering almost continuously for well over a month with a couple of flowers and several buds showing at any one time. Apparently they’re at their best from from March through to October but can be found in flower all year round. The seedlings I showed last month went to some one else to grow and I’ll be sowing some more.
The Common Forget-me-nots (Myosotis arvenis) I showed in this post lasted several weeks after which I replanted it out on the plot where I hope it will have self-seeded. It’s an annual which flowers March to September unlike the Sylva White (Myosotis sylvatica) which is a perennial. This week I sowed some of the latter in a 4.25 in /11 cm pot (the smaller black one in the first picture) for the windowsill.
The Sunflower Big Smile (Helianthus annuus) I recently repotted into a 5 in/12.5 cm pot,rather than a 6 in/15 cm one, and it’s growing really well. It’s over 3 in/7.5 cm tall and now showing five pairs of leaves.
I also repotted the Tomato Red Robin into a 5 in/12.5 cm pot is also doing well, at around 2 in/5 cm tall.
I’m pleased with this year’s On the windowsill plants so far, and look forward to seeing how they progress through the summer.
Have a good weekend, and take care!
