Any fast-growing flowers in FL?

Right now it is fall, and I'm looking for a flower seed that grows quickly at this time. I'm also hoping that they are convenient to purchase at like Home Depot or some sort.

Do amaryllis flowers or sunflowers grow fast and well here?

Thanks

Depending on whether or not you get frost in your area, you probably should wait to plant your sunflowers. They do best if you start them in pots in February and have them in the ground by late March.



Here are some seeds that do well in most parts of Florida and grow fairly quickly. They also attract butterflies.



Salvias

Calendulas

Petunias

Gazania

Cockscomb

Impatiens

Ageratum

Reply:depending of your planting number area.. I live in Central Florida - Planting region number 9 before was in region 10B



Amaryllis bulbs are very easy to grow and will multiply easily if they are planted in a shady area and well drained soil.

I'm not sure about the Sunflowers but it should be no problem if you plant in the fall by spring they should be in full bloom.

Personally, I prefer the Hibiscus which blooms every day in full sun and grow real fast in my area.
