I push my seedlings with regular feedings of liquid
fertilizer like Miracle Gro and I usually see bloom by
the first or second year. Anything that doesn't bloom
after that, I dig and toss. Also, I have noticed that
my crosses with reblooming varieties seem to show more
vigor and tend to bloom sooner and earlier than the
others.
