I was overly enthusiastic when I ordered seeds this year and bought too many for my indoor seed-starting capacity! I was wondering if I could direct sow in spring any of the following with enough confidence that they will germinate that I can forgo starting them indoors:

China Aster
Ageratum
Marigold
Snapdragon
Catchfly
Vinca
Gomphrena
Gazania
Rose Mallow (perennial)
Lupine
Flemish Poppy
Gaillardia

Anyone have experience direct sowing any of these?

THANKS!

Most of these could probably be found in PlantFiles with information on when and how to sow them. I have learned a lot by looking through there! :)

From my experience I've sown, Ageratum, Snapdragon, & Flemish Poppy
and all did well!

Thanks to you both. I'll have a careful look in plant files and direct sow as much as I can.
