The recommendations for growing seedlings of annuals (and not only) of colors can be found prescription planting seeds in February or even January. But I do not see the point, if there is no lighting (except for some species). Due to lack of sunlight and slow the growth of seedlings pulled out. And the March seedlings are actively growing at a sufficient light day, it catches up with her in the development of.

Fancy Carnation "Travyanka" - perennial

Undersized unpretentious plant, usually up to 20 cm, is perfect for those who do not like spending a lot of time to care for the flower bed. I would say that "Travyanka" - a flower that lives on its own) and numerous bright happy flowers from June to September.

One of the trump cards of cloves - exclusive frost. Perennial withstands winter temperatures as low as -40 ° C. It must be remembered that travyanka quickly expands and propagates self-seeding: the landing area will have to control every year.

Therefore planting Echinacea advised previously soaked. Although I once planted flower and do not remember that there was a special panic over the long shoots.
