    Scotkat, I didn't have very good luck with Lisianthus. They are a beautiful flower but died very quickly and never recovered. Good luck if you try them from seed. We can buy them as plants here in the summer.

    My hardy freesias bloom wonderfully and multiply each year. I have a large pot just outside the back door right now so the scent wafts into the kitchen. They are blooming now here.
