I ordered some seeds from a new company this year, along with the companies I typically use.  HPS (Horticultural Products and Services Division) sent me an impressive catalog.  I took it to the cabin and picked out a  few things.  They are geared toward the commercial market (nurseries, etc.), but they have a few items in lesser quantities.  Here is what I ordered, and they landed at home today:

Begonia “Funky Pink”

If I’m lucky enough to get some of these seeds started, I plan to grow the plants on the back patio.  I read directions on the Begonia Society site and plan to do my best to sterilize and use sterile medium and grow the plants close together.

Parfait Raspberry Hybrid Dianthus

This dianthus cultivar has really large, showy flowers and will look great in patio pots and in the garden.

Bambino Marigold

For patio pots and interplanting with veggies in and around the raised beds.

Mimulus Magic Blotch Mix

I’m crazy for monkey flowers, but I’ve had limited success raising them from seeds.  Since these are pelleted, I’m hopeful I’ll be a bit more successful.   The goal is to place some in pots on the back patio and maybe some next to the pond, as well.
