Which month to sow Balsam seeds?

Balsam seeds love the warm weather! So, the best time to sow them in India is from February to March for summer blooms and June to July for monsoon blooms. These cheerful, easy-growers thrive in moist soil and bright light. Just sprinkle the seeds onto a well-draining medium like Coco Peat, keep them happy with water, and you'll have a garden bursting with vibrant, cup-shaped flowers in just 60 days!

What is the use of Balsam seeds?

Balsam seeds are tiny powerhouses! They’re used to grow stunning, easy-care flowers that add a pop of color to gardens and balconies. Traditionally, Balsam plants have also been valued in herbal remedies for their antibacterial properties. Plus, collecting and replanting their seeds lets you enjoy their beauty year after year— it's like nature’s own gift that keeps on giving!

Can Balsam grow in water?

Not quite! Balsam loves moisture but needs soil to thrive. While it enjoys damp conditions, especially during germination, its roots require well-draining, nutrient-rich soil to grow strong. For this, you can use Ugaoo's Pot-O-Mix, a perfect blend of 11 essential ingredients that will ensure excellent growth for your flower plants. Remember -- too much water can cause root rot. So, plant your Balsam in soil, keep it hydrated (but not soggy!), and watch it reward you with its gorgeous blooms!

Can you eat Balsam seeds?

Surprisingly, yes! Balsam seeds are edible and have been traditionally used in some cultures. They have a mild, nutty taste and are sometimes sprinkled on food. However, not all parts of the plant are safe to eat, so it’s best to enjoy these flowers for their beauty rather than as a snack—unless you're sure of the variety!

Can Balsam be winter sown?

Balsam is a warm-season lover! It thrives in heat and doesn’t do well in cold temperatures. So, winter sowing is not the best idea! The seeds need warmth to germinate and grow. If you want a thriving Balsam display, wait for spring or monsoon—this flowering plant will thank you with a burst of its colorful blooms!
