@gjones they are just annuals here I do seeds in late August and plant them out in autumn around end of Oct time they have been blooming now since early spring with regular dead heading will last a good while yet 😊 you can sow direct in spring too for later blooms 😄

@thehardygardener @midnightgardener thank you I love the mix of colours you get from this pack 😆

Yey I have a #pinky one 💕💕💕

Very pretty keely...💜

Sweetie 💕💜 did you sow these direct?

I planted these last year and I now can't believe how big they are getting! I'm going to have to move them, or give them away! 😁

@rhododendronmad did you nip them out Linda I do so they don't get as tall n leggy but get bushier 😊

@rachelbrooks no hun sow them in sept n plant out Oct/Nov so I get some late spring colour n I always nip them out too so there not long n straggly 😄

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks hun 😘

@Keely No I didn't nip them back. I will be doing that this year though. Thank you. 😁

@rhododendronmad they don't get half as tall n leggy when you do much studier you won't regret it 😄

@Keely into a ball? , All the way to the ground? I'm not sure what to do. #advice

@rhododendronmad are they seedlings? I meant nip them out when they are seedlings before planting out so they produce side shoots 😄

Another different colour opened up in this mix, will hopefully get a pink one next too 💜💜💜

@Jasonsparkes1 I do my seeds around August n put these in in late Oct Nov for some late Spring n early Summer colour 😊

Beautiful flower, fab shot 💜

@solly1961 thank you chuck 😊

@Jasonsparkes1 can't go wrong with these easy to do pretty good to germinate its getting them through our winters I thought they'd rot last year with all rain but just shows you how robust plants they are 😄

That's so lovely and cute 😊😊💜💜

#firstbloom open today of the polka dot mix 😊

Ooh lovely colour. Think this is the mix I’ve sown 🤔

@rachelbrooks im liking it too I've put a few in last Autumn so love waiting to see what colours you get late Spring 😘

@valjones-hughes certainly are I would have never have done these if it wasn't for Gtags and seeing Lins beauties a couple of years ago @linfoster so easy to do for autumn seeds
