Re: Winter & Spring Flowering Annuals (By Khabbab)
But I purchased yellow dahlia in June so it had to be prepared in the summer season :S I have packets of zinnia dahlia seeds as well and everyone who sees them says they are to be sowed in summer. Are they incorrect?
Types I have are Double White and Double Golden!

Re: Winter Flowers and Vegetable seeds
