I would like to learn/start
growing some
flowers from
seed next year, partly because it's something new I want to try, and partly because I have so many beds I have been starting and it seems to maybe be a cheaper way to go, rather than buying so many expensive
plants. I was just looking at this website and they have TONS of different
plants/
flowers...but for example - the purple coneflower packet has like 1,200
seeds...now - my question is, how many
plants will this grow and how do I
plant them? If I start them before
spring in the house, do I
plant a few
seeds in each container, which would be one coneflower
plant...obviously I'm not going to get 1,200 coneflower
plants from 1,200
seeds, but how many
seeds makes 1
plant? Does that make sense? Or do you
plant a few in each pot, wait for them to grow, thin them down to just 1
plant and transplant that outside in the
spring?
