The usual time for sowing perennials is spring in a greenhouse or outdoors in early summer to have plants ready to plant out in autumn. It is still possible to sow in July or August but the plants might have to stay in a nursery row, or in pots, until spring.
A nursery bed is just a piece of ground for sowing seeds and transplanting young plants to grow on and get bigger before planting in permanent positions. It is often set up in a vegetable area where the soil is already cultivated.
