GDJCB said:I think that I may try direct sowing some seeds late summer/early fall this year, to see if I can get more bloom in one year. I would be very interested to hear if anyone else has done this in a Northern garden, and how it worked.

For many years Curt Hanson has direct-sown his seed in the fall, and he's near Cleveland, OH. He describes his reasoning and technique in his interview on the All Things Plants podcast #52.
