I am in Iowa along the Mississippi River. I am in Zone 5a. I am talking about mostly perennial seeds and some annuals such as Zinnia and Cosmos. I had Cosmos self seed and also Petunias. They drop their seeds in the fall and then grew in the spring. The germination rate may not have been the best. I can grow a few seeds in my garage under gro lights in the winter which I did last winter for the first time. Our garage is heated. I just would like to grow flowers for cutting in my raised beds and wanted to get a jump on them growing and blooming when they should. Any suggestions are appreciated.
