I am looking to plant more flowers. So far I have the following in my possession. However I also like Sher 's Petunias, campingcorgis Gazanias too. So looking at the following and knowing what others I like what do you think I should grow next? I have no issues ordering seeds

My pelleted seed petunias are growing somewhat slowly--a consideration if you want color quickly. The dianthus in my AG flower kits is fairly fast-growing, as are AG zinnias, Durango marigolds, calendulas, and gazanias. The Watercolor Silks are lovely.  |

Those are some great choices, Shawn! My comments would be... How patient are you willing to be? The Dianthus that came in one of my AG flower kits seemed to do great. That said, I have Dianthus in my current GAL and at 70 days, the plant is huge, but not a flower bud in sight. I just did a good once over & can't spot any at all. The Gazanias have been blooming for some time now...but you know that...LOL. I did a www search for days to maturity on the Pacifica Vincas and it says 98 to 105...at least that's what my search showed. For the Dahlias, I couldn't find a days to maturity linked with that name, but I found another that said 90 days for Dahlias. I'm not sure if that was from seed or the rhizomes? I know we have some fantastic Dahlia growers in our area, but the ones we've picked up for MIL didn't do a thing! Maybe they are temperamental and would do better for you!  |

Ok so I just placed an order for seeds.
Park Seed has a 25% off all seeds. Once they arrive I will plant something in my Desk Garden.

I'm very fond of Impatiens, even though you see them all the time in retail stores.  |

My seeds should be here this week. I can not wait! Me either! Are you growing impatiens? I used to grow them in a window in Orlando. They are glorious, but messy. But the beauty far outweighs the mess! |

I'm with Sher, all are wonderful choices. Given Sher's recent success with Petunias, I would lean towards them.
