Doug, Thanks for mentioning Stokes-I was just thinking I was remiss in not
saying they're great for flower seed. They provide a lot of instruction in their
catalog, too. They're one of the best for the Daddy series-individual colors
rather than mixes.
Good idea, too, to experiment with cheaper seed. Cost of Waves is around
$4 for 10/15 seeds (parks, jung); Harris is $6.15 for 25 seeds.
Parks says the Shock Waves are less sensitive to day length giving you two
extra weeks of bloom. I guess I've always wondered if autumn day length
affected bloom??? My petunias seem to bloom even after a light frost so
maybe that's just a factor in the spring.
