Start seeds indoor is better so you know their seedlings are not weed. Sow seeds directly do save trouble of transplanting but sometimes they are eaten by garden pests and you end up thinking they did not grow or worse — weeded by mistake. 😦
I have only tried to go seed inside once & failed. This house I am now living in has trees that block solid sun from hitting it except some late afternoon sun. So I guess I will just have to spend the extra $ it takes for someone who is competent enough 🙂 to grow flower ,or anything, from seed. Thank you for all your advice! -amy
There are many flowering plants love shade, like lungwort, periwinkle, toad lily, hosta, lamium, Lenten rose, woodland phlox, lily-of-the-valley, corydalis, masterwort, mountain laurel, Rhodos and Azaleas….

It is double Calibrachoa, also called million bells! This and Petunia are alike but different genus. As easy to grow from seeds though. 🙂

Thank you! Seeds, do I dare? may I put them in my garden’s dirt, among other flowers? Will they come out or do I have to start these inside? -amy
