flower seeds

Bloom in waiting

Flower seeds are the reproductive units from which flowering plants grow.

They contain the embryo and nutrients needed for germination.

Gardeners buy packets of flower seeds to plant directly in soil or start indoors: I scattered wildflower seeds along the fence line.

The term distinguishes them from vegetable seeds or grass seed.
