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.
Do you ship across the EU?
Yes, orders ship from Meppel in the Netherlands with fast EU delivery, and the final shipping cost is shown at checkout.
