Seedling Progress Report

Tags: seedlings , coleus , hollyhocks , daylily , leeks
My coleus, just 3 months old, are growing at a snail's pace, but are delightful, nonetheless. They have a few sets of leaves and are beginning to develop color. The hollyhocks are 1 1/2 months old and about 4 inches tall with several-- 5-6 --true leaves. The daylily, about 4 weeks old, has three grass-like leaves, the tallest being about 3 inches. The balloon flowers, larkspur, malva zebrina, and blue flax have just begun sprouting and signs of their first true leaves are beginning to emerge. Still waiting on the begonias and foxgloves and a pot of blue fescue seeds, as well as some additional daylilies and coleus. And I just sowed some leek seeds as they take 150 days (that's 5 months!!) to reach maturity. I plan on planting them in succession so that there will be leeks throughout the summer into fall.

I can't believe it! After having read how impossible it is to start daylilies from seed, I'm quite surprised to see that one of the two that I potted up has begun to sprout. I followed these instructions http://www.dianedaylilies.com
/seeds.html and it worked. I'm really glad about it too, as I had planned to plant a row of about 20 or so daylilies along the blueberry hedge that I'm planting, and to buy that many plants from a nursery would be cost-prohibitive. I have many more seeds in the fridge just waiting to be potted up. The daylilies probably won't flower until the 2nd year, but the foliage at least should be attractive for the first year.
