I've already planted 'Alyssum' but was wondering... will 'Heartsease', 'Marigold', 'Snapdragons', 'Ageratum', 'shadeof white' %26amp; 'calendula' grow %26amp; bloom at this time? And what other flowers can i plant? Also, will 'pumpkins' (not squash) grow through winter as well? cuz im doing a vege garden!
thnx :)xx
Can i plant flowers in late may %26amp; expect them to grow through winter %26amp; into spring?
I think in large measure your answer might depend on your location/ZONE. Certainly a decent garden shop, local, will best advise what to grow, when best to plant, gestation/germination of seed, what best to plant as juvenile plants as opposed to seed, and what temps anything has a tolerance for.
No matter what you plant, unless you happen to be in a place like here in Florida, there will be months of dormancy, which does occur here as well. Perhaps a better question to ask at a garden center is, "What can I plant now, and will it SURVIVE a winter?"

Bi-annuals flower in the second year.
Perennials come up year after year.
Some of the Hardy perennials, i.e.Pelegoniums, will flower on through a mild autumn and stay green through a mild winter.

Growing flower seeds in a balcony planter did i plant them right?
the planters are 5 1/2 inches deep and 6 inches wide ... and 3 feet long. I put some old potting soil with styrofoam bubbles (from old house plants) on the bottom for about 2 inches, then i put 1 inch of new potting soil above it and place a variety of snapdragon, bachelor buttons, marigolds, and a wild flower mix throughout the planters, and covered all seeds with another 1/2 to 1 inch of new soil and watered carefully untill completely saturated.
.... the question .....
I have about 2 1/2 + inches of space from the top edge of the planter to the soil inside... is this too deep? should the soil surface be closer to the top of the planter?

That should be okay, as you want some room for water to stay when you are watering the planter. Also, that will give the plants some stability.

Does any one have any good tips for growing?
snapdragons from seed?? They have all come up. They dont even have the second set of leaves yet. When is a good time to transplant them outside??
Does any one have any good tips for growing?
If it is still windy outside your house, you will probably want to wait until the third set of leaves sprout and the base of the stem has a good thick husk. If its warm and mild outside, you could plant a few days after the second set of leaves sprout

Does anyone remember those good old computer games of the 90's?
there's a few i remember, but can't find them on the web. it's like everyone's forgotten them :(
Snap dragon. there were different screens with stickers or something and you could click them and the did different thing. also there was a coloring book where you could color Snapdragon and his Friends. and there was "good music" always playing :D
also there was some cookie making game in my kindergarten days i don't remember much but i remember it was some animal creature (horse?) and you made cookies for him (with different buttons for sprinkles and icing and such) and then he'd eat them...
another one being some maze game where doors would open and you where looking for keys or something and there was some "glowy" fairy or something... does anyone know what i'm thinking of?
BUGDOM! i loved this game. everyone who was alive at this time bascially should remember this game as it was a favorite of the 5th graders :D
also SuperMunchers etc., some critters game, %26amp; Kidworks.

Can't find the right combo of sun/water to get my potted snapdragons to bloom beautifully.?
I've tried full sun, partial shade, complete shade. I water daily. Does the temp. affect them? It gets pretty hot /humid in S. Jersey. Some bloom. Some don't. They look healthy. I've heard about "pinching". Don't really know what it means or how to do it. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey Libby!
Snapdragons can survive the heat and humidity of the summer, but it stresses them to the point where they nearly quit blooming. They are usually at their prettiest in early spring and then again in the fall. Sounds like you are doing a great job at keeping them green. I like to put mine in morning sun and afternoon shade this time of year. In early spring and again in fall, they can handle full sun. Keep watering them as you have been and just ride out the heat.
As far as pinching, you can pinch the spent blooms at the stem just below the blooms. It wouldn't hurt them at all to pinch them back by at least 1/2 their growth right now. Since they are not blooming well, it will help them become bushier and could help reduce your watering since there will be 1/2 the plant to keep green. You will most certainly receive some blooms with the new growth.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
Reply:snapdragon's are sun lover's.once established,they don't need much water.they don't like to be fertilized very much either. the first year is a little tough on you growing them.they wilt,yellow,turn brown,but if you stick with it they will be beautiful next year.they reseed themselves,and they will be right where you left them.you can collect the seed's from them too,to start plant's for next year. pinching back mean's that if you pinch the tall growth,they will be smaller,bushier plant's.
Reply:Great answer from Cristy. Just wanted to add that snapdragons are what's called a "short-day bloomer". All plants bloom according to their photoperiod, or the length of time they get light in a 24 hour period. "Short-days" bloom best in the spring and fall because of the reduced amount of sunlight during those seasons. This doesn't mean that they WON'T bloom during the summer, but the number of blooms will be significantly fewer.
Reply:I have snapdragons that are in full sun and watered daily also. They have quite a few blooms but some don't bloom. I think the humidity does affect them. As for pinching I always just pinch off the dead blooms. It seems like they bloom back faster if you do that. Whether they are in sun or shade I don't think it matters. I think the humidity is what affects them.

Anyone know how to take care of snapdragons and tomatos from seedlings?
Yes. They need full sun, both of them. However, tomatoes need sun a lot longer and hotter than do snaps. The snapdragons appreciate cooler weather. You can fertilise them after their first bloom; otherwise keep them moist but not soggy.
Tomatoes need lots of water up to their fruiting. Once they form the small fruits, water a lot less or you will end up with watery tomatoes. This does not mean dry them out, but do not be as generous with the watering can as you normally would. They like a somewhat acidic fertiliser, or fish emusion does just fine.
Anyone know how to take care of snapdragons and tomatos from seedlings?
Not sure about the snaps, but if you intend on growing tomatoes from seedlings, I'd definitely be sure to purchase a grow light (full spectrum fluorescent bulbs). They are available at Walmart for around $10 including the fixture. Better yet, I'm using a seedling heating mat in conjunction as well to ensure that the soil temperature stays at an acceptable level for germination and early growth. If the seedlings start out weak, your harvest will be diminished!

What does "thin seedlings" (when they are 2 inches in height) mean on my flower seed packets?
I have some snapdragon seeds that I want to start indoors--also should I put one seed per container?
What does "thin seedlings" (when they are 2 inches in height) mean on my flower seed packets?
All of the answers look good to me. When planting seeds, you will always plant in groups of 3 or 4 seeds. That is because not all of the seeds will germinate and sprout....you could get some duds! But, if you find that more than 1 seed in the group sprouts, then you would want to pull out all but the healthiest one in order that it alone receives all of the water and nutrients, and is not competing with an inferior sprout for survival. But, I agree with the one answer who said that 3 snapdragons in a pot would be best. Since it's a single-stalk kind of plant, a group often looks better. good luck.

..........Thinning Seedlings..................
http://www.gardenersnet.com/atoz/thinnin...
Perhaps one of the hardest tasks in all of the gardening world, is to thin seedlings.Thinning seedlings is essential for healthy plant growth and development, to maximize flower size, and to maximize crop production. Sure, some types of plants may tolerate a little crowding. But, that's more often the exception, rather than the rule. Every plant in the world will show positive benefits when afforded the proper spacing to maximize their growth.
Reply:"Thin seedlings" means to pull up some if they are growing close together. If they are too close together then none of them will get enough moisture or light. I would put more than one seed in each container. Not all seeds will germinate.
Reply:People usually plant more than one seed per container, in case that one seed doesn't germinate and grow. "Thinning" means to plant a few, leave the very strongest one, and pull out the rest. Yes, it is wasteful, but it is nature's way, and it is the best way to get a good crop of plants.
Reply:Thinning them out means to pull out some...so they won't be too close and over-crowd each other. You would remove the smaller, weaker looking ones.
I would put more than one seed in your containers...maybe 3 or 4...then thin them out when they do get 2" tall...if you are using really small pots. You can plant more in them if the pots are larger:)
Good Luck!!
Reply:Usually the packet which the seeds came from say to thinn out when plantlings are two inches in heighth very true to get the results that are needed for proper plant cultivation. You should pull out every other one or at least leave an inch between the plants that way they have room to grow properly.
Reply:don't put only one seed per container, because not all of them sprout. thinning means pulling some of them out after they grow to 2" in height, so that they don't get too crowded.
Reply:Pull some up to prevent overcrowding.
Reply:It takes a certain amount of space for one plant to grow and be healthy. One should plant more seeds than needed and then pull out some that came up making room for that one plant you want to keep growing. If you are raising seedlings inside I think you generally leave 3 snapdragons per container.

Are snapdragons weeds or plants?
Snapdragons, or Antirrhinums, are a popular bedding plant for the garden. The flower grows in the shape of a dragon head, or rabbit, which gives the common name 'bunnies' in the trade!
There are numerous colours to choose from, and in some countries, eg Malta, they grow wild, but are mostly pink in colour.

Their large, blossom-laden flower heads are faintly fragrant and come in in a wide assortment of bright colors. The vertical flower spikes, opening gradually from the bottom to the top, are available in two heights: dwarf varieties grow to about 10 inches while the taller types grow to a height of 18-24 inches. A vareity that grows up to 5 feet has been developed, but it must be staked. A single snapdragon plant may produce seven or eight blossom spikes in the course of a summer.

They do seed themselves quite easily, so some people might regard them as weeds - I just view them as a way to avoid having to buy new seeds/plants. All self-sown plants can loose the special traits that their parents have, such as 'F1' hybrids (crosses of 2 parents, each with valuable traits, that pass on to their 1st generation offspring. When reseeding, they loose this exact match of beneficial traits).

Reply:Snapdragons are an easy to grow annual. Most varieties are early summer bloomers. They often wilt in the mid-summer's heat, but often perk back up and bloom again in cooler fall weather. Grows 1 1/2' to 3' tall. Plant Snap Dragons outdoors after the last frost for your area. Fertilise once a month. Flowers will bloom in June. After the flowers have died off, cut the plant back to about six inches. Then add fertiliser. This will promote new growth and a second bloom. They are a favourite flower for cutting and fragrance. Strong-stemmed spikes are tightly packed with large "dragons" in white, yellow, purple, crimson, bronze, pink in a range of hues. Long lasting flowers

Need to know what's wrong with my Snapdragons?
All right, this is only my second summer of gardening and I have tried my best to educate myself on how to care for each of my flowers, which are all in pots. The problem is with my snapdragons and I have tried to search for info on diseases so that I can find out what to do about it, but none of the descriptions seem to match and the pics don't look like it, so somebody please help!!
It started with one individual snapdragon, in the very back of all the rest, that had dried up, while the others were still looking healthy. So I pulled that one out. Next thing you know, there are about 5 in the back that suddenly don't look so good. They are still green, but the stems seem weak and all the leaves are drooped down and kind of curled. On top of that there are random leaves, on some of the other SDs that otherwise look OK, that have turned yellowish brown. And last, there are some green leaves that have clear spots, kind of the appearance of saran wrap. Help!!
Need to know what's wrong with my Snapdragons?
Antirrhinums (snapdragons) do not enjoy dry baked roots, which is often the case with pot grown plants. You should NEVER use the same soil for the same plants, replace soil EVERY year, do not overfill pots with too many plants as snapdragons are hungry plants and need good moist soil to produce healthy plants. Diseases in plants are mostly encouraged by growing conditions.

What kind of flower seeds have you had luck with directly sowing them outside?
Does anyone else have trouble with some flower seeds? I can do Nasturium, poppy, allysum and snapdragons. Everything else I've tried either don't do real well, or don't make it at all. Or some of them come up and then some peter out. So I'm wondering, what kinds of seeds have you had luck with by just sowing them directly in the soil? What have you not had any luck with?

Marigolds...so easy and come in more than just yellow.
Morning glories-keep watered and they will bloom for months.
Bachelor Buttons...some call them weeds. I love them.Just keep deadheading and they will bloom all summer and reseed for next year.
Definetely Zinnias...so many colors and sizes..
Cleome...these are beauties...tall and majestic... Also will reseed for next year.
Hollyhocks...very easy to get growing. Must have lots of room for these. and once they are done blooming...cut back before they drop seed as they will grow anywhere and everywhere. I still love them and always have lots of seeds to give to friends.
Verbena..lots of colors...Love Verbena bonariensis...tall skinny stems with little purple flowers atop...butterflies loves them.Reseed themselves each year.
Titonia...big orange , zinnia like flower.
Brown Eyed Susan...so simple to grow...that's why they put them in wildflower mixes.
Hope this helps!
Reply:Hey Aria,
Must be lucky, or am using good soil, but what ever I put down seems to grow. Ahead of planting, be sure that there is good planting soil - ammend the local soil, it probably is not that good. Also, be sure to water enough, but not too much. Germinating seeds require water for the entire germination cycle, once they crack open then need water.
If you water the bed you put them in, water with a light sprinkle, then remove the water - the ground is shiny - count how long the shiny lasts (how long it takes for the water to soak in). If it is 3 seconds or so, that is just right. Any less, and you don't have enough water there. Any more, you risk having too much. Be sure you have good drainage, if not, raise your bed.
Nasturtiums are one of my favorites. The flowers are pretty, they can be eaten as well as the entire green of the plant.
Reply:The following have been really easy for me:
Californian Poppy - Escholzia Californica - 12'' high and beautiful. http://www.tmseeds.com/product/4592.html
Calendulas -sometimes called English Marigolds - around 18'', oranges, creams http://www.tmseeds.com/product/6133.html
Foxgloves - Digitalis purpurea - these flower the year after being sown, but are so easy to grow and wonderful flowers for a few months - 5' or 6' tall - come in many shades of colour. http://www.tmseeds.com/product/2843.html
Godetia are also a good bet, and free flowering for whole summer: http://www.tmseeds.com/product/6197.html
Otherwise, Poppies are relatively easy, and showy too. Some are annuals, whilst some can be sown right now, for flowers this year, and then perennial, flowering each year - eg. http://www.suttons.co.uk/pd_128909_Poppy... Ooops, just seen that you do poppies, sorry!
Don't forget sunflowers if you have the space! They are wonderful show stoppers, and now come in a wide range of colours, not just the more typical yellow, eg. reds and mixed colours. There are dwarf varieties too: http://www.suttons.co.uk/pd_133050_Sunfl... and these 18'' ones : http://www.suttons.co.uk/pd_133018_Sunfl...
Cornflowers are really worth a go, and reseed easily, for next year's flowering. http://www.johnsons-seedusa.com/Cornflow...
Hope these ideas work well for you. Good luck! Rob

Secret to sewing seeds outdoors is to surface water them daily. When they get their first set of mature leaves, water less frequently. They are all heavy feeders, have miraclegro on hand, fertilize every other week.
Reply:california poppys have worked well for me
Reply:Try zinnias. I just rough up the soil, scatter, sprinkle a little bit over, and pat lightly. Rockin' success.
When my columbine flowers turn to seed pods and dry on the stalk in early summer, I just take the pods, and walk around my yard, simply scattering them wherever I want to see some. I'll always see some the following spring around where I scattered. They're biennial, so they don't flower for two years, but It's no labor to walk and scatter.
Sunflowers self-seed for me. The kind with lots of small flowers, not the one-single-massive flower kind. If I take the dried flower heads and drop them elsewhere, I'll have some come up wherever I drop them. And the finches love them. I've seen a dozen goldfinches working one large sunflower plant. (again, the kind that have a profusion of 3-4" blooms all over, rather than the traditional, one-big-sunflower kind)
I love having flowers I don't even have to work for.
Reply:Cosmos are so easy. Plus they re-seed each year. I plant some early-because they do seem to come up after a few frosts. Then I plant them at the recommended times for my zone. Then you have multiple ages and heights. Gold Finches love them.
I do the same with all the varieties of sunflowers. The early and normal planting. Birds love them and there are so many varieties now!
I also was lucky enough to have some larkspur plants growing inside some perennials I bought. Three years later I had my front postage stamp yard full of them from spring to late hot August and beyond. I ended up with three colors just from 2 plants. White, purple and pink. I trim them and let some dry and harvest the seeds. But they are re-seeders! wow I had to thin them so much! But I love them and I live in Michigan. They were in very sunny areas, and loved it. But, they did well but smaller plants in semi shade.
Have fun. I recommend dead heading all the time for all the plants listed above, it's work, but they bloom so much longer.
Zinnias as mentioned above are great. But lately I have been also buying the State Farm tall variety at my local greenhouse because I can't get them to grow as tall from seed.
I love my garden. Have fun. Peace

Help! My transplanted garden plants are in shock - what can I do to help them?
I just planted some nursery snapdragons, pansies and mullein in the garden. I "teased out" the roots as suggested, planted, then watered them. Now they are drooping over! What should I do? How often should they be watered?
Help! My transplanted garden plants are in shock - what can I do to help them?
They should perk up by morning. You can stake them to a stick if you have some to help them. Blocking the wind will help if its very windy.
Water daily the first 3 days, then every other day for the first two weeks.
Next time harden them off first by leaving the tray outside for a few hours every day and transplant them into your garden in the early morning and water immediately.
I suspect the place you bought them from either didn't harden them off or didn't keep them well watered.
Reply:water well if the soil is dry and give them a few days they might come out of it .

How can I take wildflowers from the road, and put them in a flower bed?
There is about 15 different kinds of wildflowers that grow along my road, but my road is a dirt road so they get really dusty. i already took 12 wild roses but they are all in shock, but they will be ok next year. How can I take these other wildflowers and plant them in my flower bed? Just to name a few of the flowers, there are daisys, black eyed susans, fire weed, flowering maple, and this one type of small purple vine that looks like a mini wisteria. how can i do it, and make sure they are ok? oh, and its ok if its illegal, this is a dirt road that only gets about 20 cars a day. i tried to plant wildflowers from seed, and only about 5 small types of flowers came up, not the ones that were in the picture. it was the biggest waste of money i ever spent. oh, and one more question, is there any type of wildflower seed packets (or miracle gro stuff) that has many big flowers come up like snapdragons and is very full and colourful?
How can I take wildflowers from the road, and put them in a flower bed?
Dan,
Stop and think for a moment about your actions. Is it illegal? Yes!! Private property calls it invasion and theft.
Public Property brings Criminal Charges against you!
First a real Wildflower Bed needs development and plannning. Set aside an area you wish to have as such a garden in your yard. Make the proper provisions, such as the soil, irrigation availability, and a border to keep the plants in place. Wildflowers are really weeds that will take over if not contained my friend!
With the planning, backfill with any dirt you can and some compost or manure your set to go. Again, confine the area with either a stone or timber wall no less than three foot tall and make it a full surround. After planning and executing that project examine your real purpose.
Do I want a true wildflower garden or a garden I can be proud of and tend? I believe the later to be more true. Set the garden to be receptive to any planting this fall. Spend the time between then and spring to put a plan on paper. Make a gradious plan with a Specimen Tree surrounded by rare plants. Then get real and plan a garden that reflects your obvious goal of color through the season.
There are so many plants and so many zones in this country that plants can grow in. Write me back for the zone you are in. I am at gjgjobs@yahoo.com and welcome such a challenge.
I, after reading your post, would suggest making a raised bed using whatever is available to you. The plants I would use would be a Center Plant of Yucca, a background of Gereniums and a front of Midlandier Roses. All are cheap and available at any Nursery. Beats the hell out of trying to save monies and the bed will continue for years!
Good Luck. I am at gjgjobs@yahoo.com
Reply:No, it's not ok ..... it is illegal!
Most wild plants will die when moved and transplanted, believe me, I've tried many, many times with no success! Some of the plants you listed can easily be grown from seed or plants purchased at a nursery. Black Eyed Susan's only need to be planted once since they self propagate very easily. Those wildflower seed packets are usually not good and will contain more weed seeds than real flower seeds like you are wanting. You could make your own mixture of seeds. Buy packets of seeds that you like, mix them together and plant!
Reply:I would just dig them up and transplant them immediately. I would probably wait until closer to fall. You can enjoy them next year.
Reply:Quite apart from whether it is or is not legal, wild flowers are notoriously difficult to transplant I think. Cowslips, for example, will quite happily live in lawns or roadside verges, but won't survive in flower borders!
Reply:wildflowers are very difficult to translplant if not impossible for some climates. i would cut the tops or seed bearing areas and save them to plant next year....you'll have a nice suprise in the spring.

What are the best annual flowers to grow in a cloud forest of Central America?
I live in a cloud forest in Panama and I want to know what are the best annual flowers to grow here. I like snapdragons for example.
Thanks
Danny
What are the best annual flowers to grow in a cloud forest of Central America?
Try a moonflower vine. They love heat. Make sure it has sufficient water early on, but once it starts vining you should lay off the extra watering.
Also try a hyacinth bean vine.
Reply:Wow, how cool for you to be living in probably the most perfect flower growing environment there could be. You can grow just about anything. Begonias, bromeliads, cosmos, zinnia, your snap dragons, impatiens, bouganvilla, crepe myrtle, gingers, cannas....anything! Bet it will be beautiful.

What type of rose will bloom the longest in the summer?
I live in Ontario, Canada. I want to plant some roses next year. What types bloom the longest in the summer? Thanks in advance.
Ps. What are some perenuals (or other flowers) like snapdragons, larkspur, and gladiols that bloom for a long time in the summer?
What type of rose will bloom the longest in the summer?
Roses best suited to your climate are the Explorer and the Parkland series roses developed at Morden Research Station in Manitoba.
Roses are not instant producers. They require 2-3 years to establish and get up to full flower potential. Some modern roses bloom nearly constantly with a small number of roses after the first flush some have a second smaller flush. To be sure you are getting a rebloomer look for the term remontant or repeat bloomer. Avoid roses like the Gallicas, Albas, and most Species unless they are from Asia.
Establishing a rose can be helped by amending the soil in a 3x3 foot area 18 inches deep for a large rose like a climber. When I dig the hole I only keep the top 4-6 inches and use compost to replace the rest of the soil. I like to add one cup each alfalfa meal, fish meal, bone meal, kelp meal, and a seed meal like cotton seed to the soil. A small shrub needs a smaller area amended say 1.5-2 feet square and I use the fertilizer mix at 2/3 cup each.
Roses are heavy feeders but should never be fed late in the year a rule of thumb is Valentine's Day, Memorial Day %26amp; Labor Day for fertilizing.
Long blooming perennials include Dianthus or garden pinks, Gaillardia also called Blanket Flower, Liatris - Gayfeather, in white or purple, Rudbeckia - Black-eyed Susan.
Any sedum or stonecrop would be good. I particularly like 'Matrona', 'Arthur Branch' %26amp; 'Autumn Fire'. http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/65659/index...

A snapdragon plant that is pure-bred for white petals was crossed to a plant that is pure-bred for deeppurple?
All the F1 plants had white petals. The F1 plants were inbred to yield an F2 generation
with the following phenotypes:
P white X deep purple
F1 white
F2 white 1200
deep purple 300
light yellow 100
1600 Total
A. Based on these results, how many different genetic loci are involved in the production of petal
color in the snapdragon?
I have to explain my reasoning.
B. Using the symbols A and a for the alleles at one locus and the symbols B and b for the alleles at
the second locus, assign genotypes to:
1. The F1 plants:
2. The white plants in the F2 generation:
3. The original pure-bred white parent:
A snapdragon plant that is pure-bred for white petals was crossed to a plant that is pure-bred for deeppurple?
Your ratio = 12:3:1 shows that you have a case of dominant epistasis where 2 loci interact to affect the final phenotype and give a deviation from the expected 9:3:3:1. This is a common ratio and is explained with worked examples in the links below.

Can someone tell me about these flowers, all of them are stocks and tall. Help?
Here is a list of seeds I have:
-Larkspur
-Lupins
-Stocks (ten weeks dwarf)
-Penstemon
-Snapdragon
-Salvia
Will these seeds survive over the winter? On most of them the expiry date is December 2008, or December 2009. How do I care for them? When do I plant most of them in the spring, should I start in doors? Which are perannuals and which are annuals? I live in Ontario, Zone 5. What else? I also have 35 gladioli bulbs. I just planted them in a pot, they probably won't bloom this year, i just planted them because i have to take them out in october because they could die over winter outside. How do I care for these too? All these stocks are going to planted in a border, which will probably be pretty nice, and full. And one last thing, I have a perannial Aubeitia, it says I was supposed to plant it inside in April, but I can't do it next year because the expiry date is December 2007. Should I plant them now? Will the bloom next year? Thanks!
Can someone tell me about these flowers, all of them are stocks and tall. Help?
Expiration dates are pretty much suggested dates. I've planted many things that have expired. Just make sure you store them properly. They should all be find until you are ready to plant them. If you are going to wait until spring which is what I recommend then just place them in a dry dark location like a drawer somewhere. If you want to seed your garden in the Autumn with the perennial seeds you can because that is when a perennial flower would drop it's seeds anyhow.
Below are links to most of the flowers you listed. Hope they help.

I just planted them in a pot, they probably won't bloom this year, i just planted them because i have to take them out in october because they could die over winter outside. How do I care for these too? All these stocks are going to planted in a border, which will probably be pretty nice, and full. And one last thing, I have a perannial Aubeitia, it says I was supposed to plant it inside in April, but I can't do it next year because the expiry date is December 2007. Should I plant them now? Will the bloom next year? Thanks!
Can someone tell me about these flowers, all of them are stocks and tall. Help?
Expiration dates are pretty much suggested dates. I've planted many things that have expired. Just make sure you store them properly. They should all be find until you are ready to plant them. If you are going to wait until spring which is what I recommend then just place them in a dry dark location like a drawer somewhere. If you want to seed your garden in the Autumn with the perennial seeds you can because that is when a perennial flower would drop it's seeds anyhow.
Below are links to most of the flowers you listed. Hope they help.

My snapdragons have brown spots on the underside and have yellowish leaves, No bugs seen. ?
I used the miracle cure, and that did not help. Is it a bug or like a rust problem? Seems to drop flowers early also. Thank you.

Sounds like a disease. Overwatering usually turns the whole leaf yellow without the spots. I would spray them with Bonide Remedy or Ortho Disease Control. Spray bottoms and tops and repeat as recommended. You should be able to get your plants back to a healthy state.
Reply:Over-watering could be a problem. This always leads to leaf turn yellow. Yes it could be bug / rust too

Direct sow or start indoors?
I am unsure as to whether I will have more luck starting snapdragon seeds indoors or direct sowing...I am in zone 5, which has random frost up until May. I know, though, that snapdragons need a cool period, so would putting the seeds outside be the best bet? If so, how many weeks before the last frost date? Thanks!
Direct sow or start indoors?
Someone gave me snapdragon seeds one fall and since I always have self sown ones, even in zone 4, and I knew they needed a cold spell I decided to try sowing the seed in the fall. It worked out really well, plants seem to know best when it is safe to sprout and they emerged earlier than I ever would have planted seed in the spring. They seemed like they'd be tiny but by late June they had caught up with the nursery sets. The same is true for cosmos and allyssum. Also parsley and onion seed. Not that that helps you right now but I thought it was interesting. For this spring I would recommend sets, personally. Snapdragons can be a little temperamental when you start them inside which is how my experiment originally came about. I just didn't want the hassle.
Reply:If I remember, the last frost date for zone 5 is around May 15th. Annual flower growers have already started growing them in trays in greenhouses. I think your best bet is to start them inside. That way you'll have small plants to plant when you are past the freeze date.

Reply:I'm zone 4 and always start mine indoors and have had real good luck with them. I also have a neighbor who has beautiful snaps and she never seeds them, they were all self seeded that come up each year.
Reply:I like to do 1/2 and 1/2. Sometimes starting seeds indoors does not seem to work well for me and snapdragons are one of the plants that is "iffy" for me. So I put some seeds out and keep some seeds in and see what happens - if neither one is happy, I go to the nursery and buy a tray as a last resort.
