  Many perennial can still be sown now, if you have a cooler place for them to germinate (or wait till the heatwave recedes). This is from T&M, more knowledgeable than I in your northern airs:
  

  •  Now is an ideal time to sow the seed of spring-flowering perennials in seed trays of good quality compost. Try Aquilegia, Bellis, Delphinium and Lupin .
  •  Sow summer-flowering perennials such as Scabiosa, Achillea, Echinacea and Geranium.
  •  Sow winter-flowering pansies in the greenhouse now to prepare for your winter containers.
  •  For flowers that bridge the gap between spring and summer try growing biennials such as Forget-me-not, Foxgloves, Sweet William and Wallflowers for flowering next year.

  Oh, I didn’t think of checking with T&M, I thought I’d have to read through the description of every seed packet !
  
  thank you, very helpful.  I will definitely wait until after this hot spell.
