except Sunflower, i think there is no issue. Secondly Karachi's climate differs. Their spring will be around Feb with not much cold in between. I think they will grow just fine

considering karachi climate, on second thoughts, even sunflower should do just fine.

Ok, who else has sown seeds for spring season, like cosmos, petunia, pansy? I though we do it in end Oct or mid Nov here in Islamabd/Rwp region? Last year I started in late Dec.

December is too late.
Cosmos is one flower that can be sown almost round the year in our climate. I have sown cosmos already for winter flowering.
