However, I bought them locally, and the back of the packet says 15-25 days to germinate and 60-90 days to bloom. That's one that I will start inside next week.<BR/><BR/><B>Entangled ~</B> Yes, it's Blue Picotee! :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Brenda ~</B> I've seen Renee's packets in some of our local garden centers and have purchased a few before.

They need about five months of growing and establishing their roots before flowering.<BR/><BR/>However, I have had bluebonnets which sprouted in May and bloomed in December. So it might work. Or you could grow them in pots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-49168514970047657742008-03-07T07:00:00.000-05:002008-03-07T07:00:00.000-05:00Happy sowing!
