 	I just received a packet of Heliotrope 'Dwarf Marine' seeds. The 
 instructions say to sow indoors  4 months before last frost and that they 
 germinate in about 21 days.
 	Are these plants very slow growing?  Four months is a long time to grow 
 a plant under florescents and I'm a little nervous about starting them so
early.
 	I'd appreciate any advice from someone who has grown this plant.

Jim, 

Finally I can contribute !  I started these seeds last year, purchased thru
T&M. I started them in late Febuary/early March.  They germinated OK, and
bloomed in the middle of the summer.  Sorry I don't have more accurate dates,
but I know they didn't take 4 months !  By the end of four months they were
blooming !
