I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house. Good luck and thanks for asking!

Gardenia's like indirect heat and humidity. If it snows you may need to move it close to your house or cover them during the winter. I usually talk to my local nurser before I start growing a new plant. You can find info online that will say it's not possible but locals will have creative ways to meet the plants growing needs.

I can't give you specifics as to your area but they grow in Central Massachusetts as annuals. They get rather large by the end of summer so save the seeds and start over in the early spring.

where do you live? what are your growing conditions? when did you plant? when did you harvest? I have grown them successfully in Pennsylvania & Alaska. They are in the Sunflower family, like summer heat. did they flower? curious....

I can't answer that because I don't know where you live. Here in Kansas City area where it gets cold, no. They will freeze and die. I dig up bulbs and just put them in a can in a cool place like the garage. I do put some in pots and grow them as house plants in winter. They are very easy to keep through the winter. I have had some I didn't dig up come back if we had a mild winter, but you never know. steve

o, please ignore previous answer! I was answering about another packet of seeds I bought. most of these seeds should grow in warmer climates, you would just start planting earlier than you would in a more moderate to cold climate.

Use any good potting soil. In zones 8 and below plants can go outside, but where there is hard frost plant in pot. Repot when bulbs and roots fill the pot, as they like to be tightly potted. I in zone 7b like to bring mine into an unheated garage window area with good light and let the soil dry a little. Water in winter only enough to keep the leaves green and the bulb from shriveling. Bring outside into dappled sun- shade area in early spring when hard frost is done. Keep soil moist but. ot soggy during growing season. Buds usually form in January and February. and will be in feudal glory several weeks later. (Water every three weeks or so in winter.). Mine always have three or four huge orange clusters. I just got two yellow ones this year, babies, so have them outside to GROW UP.

Plant now and cover shoots well, or start indoors in February and move outdoors when hard frost risk over. Plant prefers to flower late spring and die back in heat of summer. Smells heavenly.

I live in the RGV of Texas. I only have a home garden but am planning to attempt to gropw a little in a bucket this fall. Not even corn in the fields is growing well with the heat we have had this summer. Last winter was cold. I'll let you know.

Plant indoor to start and move to outside when it will no longer freeze. They are very cold sensitive and prefer a bit of shade for best blooms.

I am waiting til Spring to plant, I have no idea. If you have have high winds and very cold winters I would put in sheltered environment or greenhouse.

I would wait until there are no more snow storms. I live in Texas and my plants have weathered the cold spells with below freezing temps, but our cold spells don't last long. Hope spring comes soon for you guys!!! I can imagine you are ready for it.

Unfortunately, I have purchased seeds from various providers and very few of the supply any planting or germinating information. I had to wing it or check online on horticulture sites or you local University. Wish I could have been more help. Personally I am planning on making seed purchases through a Nursery next time. Good luck.

the seeds are very small, and you can't start them in the ground until after the last frost has passed, so depending on where you are , it's probably better to start them in a pot

What zones can these survive outside in the winter? I am in zone 4 in Iowa.
