Good websites on WHEN to start flower seeds for Zone 10 Florida

13 years ago

After many years of mostly veggie gardening as I get closer to retirement I want to spend more time starting flowers from seed, both in containers and in the ground, with a preference for plants that bees, butterflies and hummers like. Any suggestions on good websites that update their list monthly with suggestions on what seeds to start in Zone 10 Florida would be appreciated.

Here's one from IFAS.

Provides good all-around info on vegetable gardening,including planting times separated by North, Central, and Southern Florida:

EDIS/IFAS does include regional planting dates on the fact sheets for individual varieties of flowers - I tried typing the common name in their search box & got results for a few.

For some reason, they list many under 'shrub fact sheets' - helpful if you know the scientific names...

Thanks, I was more hoping for a Florida gardening website that on a monthly basis updates a "start now" list for flowers, kinda like what you see in the weekend gardening section of the newspaper.
