My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Blooms 1st year

17 years ago

Just wanted to make a note that I had 2 perennials bloom the first year after winter sowing: Nicotiana Sylvestris and Rudbeckia Double Gold.

The sylvestris had a poor germination rate, but the 2 that germinated are in full bloom and wonderful. The Double Gold came up very strongly, good germination, and bloomed very early.

I would highly recommend both for first year blooms from seed.
