HYB:Seedling:Planting:Blooming

No matter how hard I try, I rarely get bloom from first year seedlings.  Last 
year I 
was fortunate to have cool weather long enough to plant seedlings in mid-may. 
 Still, of the ones that survived, few floomed.  Same with the year before.  
Planted early, but only a few bloomed.  

For a variety of reasons, I'll have to plant in the fall this year.  It's too 
hot now and will stay that way, I suspect.  I hate having to add an entire 
year onto the process.  Reason for the potting I mentioned earlier.

To all that hyrbidize---Are you able to plant in the spring and what 
percentage of bloom do you get the next year?
