Peach Butterfly blooming small

Started these the first of Feb and they already have buds starting. How unusual is this? It's been a while since I've grown standard Imps from seed and I don't remember them blooming so small. They're only about 2inches. The leaves are also more scalloped than I rememeber- wonder if I got the wrong seeds? Time will tell I guess.

I haven't started mine yet but the pansies and violas I started early are in bloom about the size of your PB.

Oh yes they do bloom that small, if they have a good root system. I grow them every year so you can take my word for it. They seem to put on a growth spurt after they get the size of yours.

bigred you'd better start yours. They take a wghile to get going. I live in zone 3 and mine are going to be started next week.
