| I have a very large yard that is near a utility easement. I was thinking a meadow type garden would be suitable for the situation. What can I sow in the Fall for spring flowers and what is best to wait and direct sow in spring? I just moved to Charlotte from New England. So far for Fall I have hollyhock, lunaria and cleome. any thing else? maybe coneflowers or BESusans? Thanks in advance /Abi |

| Larkspur, poppies, bachelor buttons work well in fall. Kept moist after sowing, they'll sprout now and winter over as seedlings. Any hardy annual should work now. Karen |

| Hi Abi! Hope things are as well as can be in NC! Definitely try the coneflowers and BES - I actually had planned on giving you a bunch of seedlings in spring before you moved. They self-sow wildly for me so they should be good for direct sowing. Maybe lupines too. They seem to self-sow well for me and I think they are so beautiful. I have the blue/purple ones and I love them. Of course, I'm thinking in CT terms, but I think these should work down in NC as well...? Dee |
