This is a 6" tall 'Marmalade Skies' seedling, that is blooming already.

{{gwi:1240562}}

It's one of 4 seedlings that were wintersown this year. The other three are an inch shorter, and also have buds, one each.

Is it harmful for the plants to be blooming at such a small size? Should I snip off the buds to force them to concentrate on root and foliage development, rather than making flowers and hips?

Thanks in advance.
