I'm giving flower planters at a shower, what flower seeds are best to bloom in July? Daffodills+ Carnations?

The wedding isn't until September 2007, but since I'm the maid of honor, I want to get started on the shower planning. I thought a garden shower in July would be nice, and I wasnt sure what seeds to plant and when to have Summer blooms. Daffodils and Carnations are the bride and grooms birth flower.

Daffodils are a bulb flower, not seed flower. They are mostly done blooming by now. Carnations aren't hard. I'll list below a site that will teach you how to grow carnations.
Reply:Daffodils are a spring time plant that bulbs usually need to be chilled for several months before they will bloom. It is hard to answer your questions because I don't know what region you are in. My suggestion is to visit Burpee's website to get some ideas of what to plant. Good luck!
Reply:i'm not sure about daffodills but i do know that carnations are strong flowers that bloom well in summer or spring and last very long,or go to gardenersnet.com they have some good info on planting
Reply:daffodils
Reply:Daffodills are out. They are a bulb plant and only bloom briefly in the early spring. Go with carnations. They are an attractive and hardy flower that will bloom all summer if you keep trimming off the dying blooms. You can even get a dwarf variety, that will do well in small planters. Good luck.
