These fine strains are classed as annuals, as they bloom the first year from seed. In favorable latitudes 
the plants will wmter over if given protection, and will flower again the next season. If the seed is 
started between January and March indoors and transplanted to the garden in late May, at least 6 
inches apart, you will have blooms from early summer right up to frost. A sowing in April gives flowers, 
but not until fall. In the fall pot the plants and cut back, to bloom again indoors.
