Cut Flowers

I think they are gorgeous! But I've never grown them. I just had a read up and it says they take 4-6 months to flower and May flower lightly in the first year.

I am currently looking at some chrysanthemum - though I'm trying to save my pennies.

Spec - what varieties did you get?

I have just ordered them but I think I will sow them as soon as I get them to give them an early start.

My daughter received some gerbera seeds for Christmas. We just relocated them (oops) and sowed some today. The pack says January (through spring, I think) for sowing, but seems to suggest they should be kept indoors.
