Is it like tomatoes or is it pretty close?

I did grow out some F2s from tomatoes (Orange Slice, Garden Treasure) that were really good but mostly I don't bother. Even with the expensive tomato seeds, it is just such a fraction of the cost to grow in Florida.

My plan is to grow fall colors (Orange, etc) for October through Thanksgiving.

and then have mainly red ones with some white for Christmas time.

Great to see you posting Richard. Thanks for the tips; Wow, my by chance seed assortment from GardenTrends had all 4 of those you mentioned. So far, no big mildew problems especially with the flowers in full sun. I saw a little in the back, but I also planted really thick too.
