Any recommendations for flowers (or something else that is decorative) that will work in sprouts? Most of what I've bookmarked is currently sold out. I did a search on the forum, but it turns out we talk about plants sprouting a lot.  Thank you! |

But what I would recommend above ALL is the Moulin Rouge Pansy(which is sold out from Burpee( but you could try a Can Can link which was suggested to me by Shawn and which I grew (above) in a Harvest which has the same height as the Sprout. It could hold 3 pods I think. I hope these suggestions help inspire you, Zy

I agree with Corinne. Her Monkey Flowers were beautiful as were the Moulin Rouge Pansies.

I remember those gorgeous projects. Someday I want to grow monkey flowers like hers.

I got:
Dianthus Seeds - Super Parfait Series Raspberry (Crimson w/Eye) from TrueLeaf Market
descriptions says 6-8" tall and the pictures on the forum look incredible
Portulaca Happy Hour Mix from Park Seed, description says 8-10" tall
Pansy, Atlas from Burpee, description says 6" tall
Hopefully one of those will work in the room I've got the sprout in. It's mostly blues, grays and blacks. So I was thinking the Pansy, Atlas would work well.
I'd like to put the dianthus in the harvest I have on my work table. Right now I've got the kit petunias in it and they keep getting so over grown I can see the flowers to enjoy them.
A lot of the seeds I looked at were sold out though which is a bummer. But there is always next year!

sounds like good choices. I have the Parfait Dianthus on my list for a future grow as well.

A lot of variety to choose from. Can't wait to see them growing.
