Just got into this thread. I am waiting to see my Cardinal Climber looking like that. I've been away most of the spring helping out with my DD's new baby and my DH has been either drowning or underwatering my babies while I'm gone. I had better results with winter sowing on lots of plants than with the same ones that I had indoors under lights. The Verbascum Southern Charm and Bolero Agastache were among the many winter sown success stories.
I am waiting to see "Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate" also.
