I am looking for flowers that fit nicely into a short machine .. Sprout and Harvest and I believe the Classics too.
I do know that the following grow nicely in them as I have grown these... ~ Moulin Rouge Pansies
~ Hypoestes
~ Alyssums (Honey Scented)
~ Snaptinis
~ Nano Geraniums
~ Portulaca Happy Hour Mix
~ Several Marigold Varieties
~ Twinny Snapdragons
|
I can not remember if there are more...
Now I would like to ask those who have successfully grown flowers in a short machine (12" hood height) what your grew.

Violas, dianthus and celosia also work in a Harvest. Also cascading petunias.
Sadly, I have no personal experience with mature celosia as bugs wiped mine out when they were small. But I plan to replant them in March.

I bookmarked those seeds.. The celosia seeds I have are the coxcomb, and I like the plumes better.
Mt dianthis started flowering when they were very short. I was disappointed because they were so small. But they grew. After their first round of blooming, I sheared the top 1/3 of them off to stimulate rebloom. Then they got taller. Some were up into the lights. I just trimmed as needed.

These tiny daisies only grow 3-6" tall. They look adorable! They would probably be too short for a Harvest, but perfect in a Sprout.
I found them while looking for seed suppliers near me because I got aggravated that seeds I ordered from California on Feb. 12 have still not arrived.
I don't know anything about this vendor, but do plan to place a test order soon.

OMG! They are adorable and beautiful too! Mikey is finishing a seed box for me...I may need to order some of these too! However, please do keep in mind that there are a lot of "weather delays" happening right now. It may not be the California vendor's fault. |

I ordered some of these from Bean Acres! What a great & cute name for a farm/seed company! There's a farm down the street from me that seems to grow a huge field of flowers, for a short time, every year. I've wondered if they have some kind of seed business. But, out here in the country, one doesn't just stop by unannounced! |

campingcorgis Are you going to take pictures of it when you get the seeds? I'd love to see it!
