Sowing for dollars

Hi,

I maybe ought to have posted this on the Frugal Gardening forum, but I thought many of you here might have interesting responses.

Don't you love it when you get hundreds of dollars worth at retail nursery rate of annuals and perennials that you have sown from seed? More foxgloves, delphiniums, or bee balm etc. for a pittance than you could stuff into a dozen yard refuse recycling bags? What are the most gratifying and otherwise expensive flowers that you have you grown from seed?

Thanks,

cranebill

RE: Sowing for dollars

Oh I guess that would be brugmansia got some seed a few years back on the Gardenweb. I saw a picture, fell in love with it and figured I could never grow it in Zone 5 well I think every seed I sowed germinated. Learned it's a tough plant that reaps beautiful flowers and I am amazed always at my patience as far as waiting for things to bloom. 2 years??? noooooooooo problem!!! The brugs bloomed the first year from seed.
