Let’s skip the waiting game and dive into the blooms that don’t believe in slow growth. Sweet Alyssum is a carpet-forming flower that bursts into bloom with tiny white or purple petals and a soft honey fragrance. It’s quick to grow and ideal for borders, walkways, or filling empty patches in planters. Calendula brings sunny gold and orange hues that not only brighten up garden beds but are also edible. It germinates fast and continues to bloom for weeks with minimal attention. Snapdragons are tall and dramatic with blooms shaped like little mouths that open when pinched. These flowers come in many shades and grow quickly, especially in early spring or fall. Nasturtiums are perfect for hanging baskets or trailing over containers. Their round leaves and warm-colored flowers grow quickly, and both the flowers and leaves are edible with a peppery flavor. Annual Phlox fills your garden with clusters of star-shaped flowers in pink, purple, and white. It’s quick to establish and continues to bloom throughout summer, especially when deadheaded regularly. Wax Begonia grows quickly and loves partial shade. It produces waxy green leaves and constant blooms in red, white, or pink, making it a favorite for shaded balconies or patios. Cornflowers, also called bachelor’s buttons, grow tall with ruffled petals in blue, pink, or purple. They thrive in poor soil and attract pollinators while blooming in just a few weeks. Daffodils are among the earliest spring flowers to bloom. With their trumpet-shaped yellow or white petals, they add cheer to any space and often bloom just 4 to 6 weeks after planting bulbs. Marigolds are classic garden champions. Their bright yellow or orange blooms come fast and strong, and they even help repel garden pests naturally, making them both beautiful and useful. Nigella, or Love-in-a-Mist, looks like something from a fairytale. Its delicate pastel flowers sit in a cloud of lacy foliage, growing fast and blooming within two months of sowing. Johnny Jump-Ups are cheerful little flowers in purple, white, and yellow. These grow quickly in both containers and beds and bloom over an impressively long season with little care. Impatiens thrive in shade and burst into bloom with vibrant reds, pinks, and whites. They grow fast and fill up even dim corners with color, perfect for walls, fences, or under trees.
