Hi pennefeather、
I tried them this year expecting their summer flowers.
I sowed them at January 22 under the grow lamps.
The germination started in a week and I thined them out at the end of Feb. The first flower came out on June 14 at the height of 40cm. I didn't have so many flowers as I had anticipated.
I can still see some flowers,though.
Now I realize that in my climate,zone9b, it is better to sow D.foxy
in autumn and flower them in spring.
