Whether you have an expansive yard or a collection of pots on a fire escape, all gardeners share a lust for color. Bold flowers exploding into glorious bloom are not only an exciting sign of warmer weather, but they’re a beautiful addition to any gardening project, and provide food for our beleaguered pollinating insect partners as well as gorgeous raw materials for bouquets and flower arrangements to beautify our homes.

A lot of people choose to purchase mature plants from a garden center or big box store and transplant them into their home gardens. This is a fast and convenient way to jump-start a flowery garden, but it’s also the most expensive way to do it (aside from paying a team of people to just do it for you). If you’re looking to add bursts of color to your gardening space with a little more sweat equity and a little less cash outlay, consider growing your flowers from seeds.

Seeds are incredibly cheap, but take a bit more coaxing and work before you’ve got a beautiful garden bursting with hues. If you want to make it as easy as possible, all you have to do is be thoughtful about the flowers you select, because some flowers are easier to grow from seeds than others. Here are 19 of the easiest to get you started.
