All the Flower Seeds I’m Starting for My 2026 Spring Garden 🌸 40 Varieties (With Bloom Photos)

I’m starting 40 flower varieties for my 2026 spring garden here in Zone 9A (Southeast Louisiana)! 🌱 In this video, I’m walking through every flower I’m growing from seed — sharing what’s new to me, what’s performed well in our hot and humid climate, and what inspired me to try each variety. You’ll see bloom reference photos alongside the seed packets so you can get a clear picture of what these flowers look like at maturity — from marigolds and snapdragons to cosmos, zinnias, nasturtiums, and more. If you’re planning your spring flower garden, love cottage garden style blooms, or want ideas for heat-tolerant flowers, I hope this gives you tons of inspiration. 🌼 Summer flower planting (sunflowers, celosia, amaranth & more) will be in a separate video — make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss it! Bloom reference images are from the original seed company websites and used for visual planning reference.
