gardenglory said:Once I plant out my seedlings, I will say, I loose 'alot'. It doesnt mean they disappear, it just means that two or three, say from about 10 seeds really take off, and the others kinda of sit there. Ive never understood it, but just accept it as the norm now. I usually keep the small ones and hope they bloom next year, some do..some dont. I have plants that I have had five years and they never change in size it seems and never bloom. I do have one cross ( my avatar picture), that every last one bloomed, and frankly, Im getting tired of them. If I get 2-5 good plants from those 10-12 seeds, Im happy. Heck..if I get one bloom Im happy.
