Correction:  A nice surprise, I see plants from some of the seeds I
planted last year are blooming today. Of course if someone lives in a
colder climate than what we have in the St. Pete/Tampa area, you may not
get flowers so quickly. You probably could grow them as potted plants
and put them inside on the windowsill in the winter.
