Louise, I am curious to know if the seeds germinated before winter sit in? I too am in a Northern state and my first seedlings took 2 to 3 years to bloom, however, last year I direct sowed seeds were they would get high doses of Nitrogen to see if that would quicken blooming. This year almost half of them bloomed as one-year-old seedlings, so it did seem to work, but only have had one year of experience, so can't say with certainty, but I do believe Nitrogen can greatly improve how quick Daylies mature and multiply, as well as, rebloom and quantity of blooms. Amount of water seems almost equal in importance. If you want to see bloom quicker, I would use a high N slow release fertilizer, and give plants ample water. By the way, the plants I purchased from you have done great, thank you again.
