Will these bloom under shop lights?

Beckworth

Please, would some of you experienced light-growers tell me which of the seeds I'll be growing under the shop lights this year have a good chance of blooming? All those which won't do for house plants will be given to friends and neighbors when garden-size. Your help is greatly appreciated, as this is the 1st time I'll not be able to garden outdoors, and yet still have that "gotta grow something" obsession! Here's the list:

Sweat pea Matucana (6"vine for hanging basket)

Tuberous begonias Park's Whopper (12")

Lavendar Lady (12")

Sweet pea Fantasia mix (bush type, 10-12")

Celosia Amigo Mahogany Red (6")

Celosia Fireglow (20", but will cut back)

Peppermint

Rosemary Irene

Snapdragon Cascadia hybrid mix (8")

Snapdragon Night and Day (18")

Mimulus (Monkey Flower) (10")

Lobelia erinus (6"tall, cascading)

Gaillardia Arizona Sun (12")

Salvia Hotline (10-12")

Salvia Victoria (16-18")

Corkscrew vine

Passion flower

And for folliage only, will these do OK?

Dichondra Silver Falls

Caladium Florida Sweetheart (from bulbs)

Sorry for the length of the list; please tell me which you'd choose for house plants. I'm not looking for perfection, just reasonable growth and some flowers to help me give up my hybrid teas!

Thanks

P.S. You can help me make a monkey of the Dr. who said I'd never garden again!

P.P.S. Should I post this on the house plant forum?
