What to Sow in August

About

Keep your garden growing through winter with our What to Sow in August collection. August is a great time to sow cool-season vegetables, herbs and flowers, while also planting flower bulbs that will bring colour and life to the seasons ahead. This collection brings together seasonal seed and bulb varieties suited to August planting in Australian gardens, making it easier to choose what to grow now without the guesswork. From kitchen gardens and veggie patches to flower beds, raised planters and pots, these seasonal picks are perfect for gardeners wanting to grow fresh produce, beautiful blooms and a thriving garden through the cooler months. Planning ahead for spring? Some warm-season varieties in this collection, including tomatoes and eggplants, are best started indoors on a heat mat or in a heated propagator during August. Once the weather warms and the risk of frost has passed in your area, they can be transplanted outdoors.
