How long Dose it take an annual to flower?

For a science project I need flowers that grow and flower quickly. I was thinking carnations or daisies but I can't find how long it takes them to flower. If some one knows how long it takes or other fast growing flowers please answer.

Neither of those will blossom before the summer. I'd go to a garden centre and get some marigolds that have already been started.

Reply:alyssum is a good choice, as well as bachelor's buttons, and it doesn't take them too long.



alyssum- germination: 8-15 (it took me only 4!)

days until first bloom: 56

grows best in full sun, if there isn't any sun then put it under a regular lamp no more than an inch away (don't worry, i've done it)



Bachelor's Buttons- germination: 10-15

days until first bloom: 42-49

likes full sun to light shade, use the lamp if light is available



good luck!



u can buy these seeds for $.97-$1.10 at your nearest wal*mart
