Container flower seeds for pots and balconies

You do not need borders to grow a beautiful display — many flowers are made for pots, baskets and window boxes. Compact, free-flowering varieties like petunias, violas, lobelia and marigolds turn a balcony or doorstep into a riot of colour all summer.

New to growing flowers? Our guide covers sowing and growing flowers from seed.

The best flowers for pots

For trailing colour over the edge of a basket, grow lobelia and nasturtiums; for compact mounds of bloom, petunias, violas and pansies. Most flower for months on end if you keep deadheading.

Keep your pots blooming

Container flowers are hungry and thirsty: water regularly and feed through summer for non-stop colour. Growing veg and herbs in pots too? See our container-friendly vegetables, or browse all flower seeds.

Pick the pot-and-basket favourites — mounds of summer-long colour and trailing blooms for the edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flowers grow best in pots?
Compact, free-flowering kinds like petunias, violas, pansies, lobelia and marigolds are ideal for containers and baskets.
What flowers trail over a hanging basket?
Lobelia, trailing petunias and nasturtiums spill beautifully over the edge of baskets and window boxes.
How often should I water and feed pots?
Container flowers dry out and use up nutrients fast, so water regularly and feed every week or two in summer.
How do I keep them flowering?
Deadhead spent blooms regularly and most will keep flowering for months.
