I live in a cold weather area. With grow lights and adequate sunlight, is this plant suitable for indoor growing?

Hi,Actually most people that purchase these do keep them indoors, during the summer you can even leave them on your patio.

Yes, ths plant is a very common indoor plant. Most people keep this plant indoors during the winter, and outside during the summer.

Room temperature is fine. Sun exposure, I wouldn't recommend it. When you expose it to the sun, the cutting tries to grow as well as root itself. It really needs all the energy for making new roots. And the back of the product doesn't recommend it either. It's best to keep it inside or outside, depending on which plant you have, and keep it out of the sun. ONLY when it starts to have new growth or buds coming from it do I recommend putting it in sunlight.

Yes keep in window or well lit area and water when soil is dry it is a very hardy plant!

I live in Massachusetts where winter is pretty cold. I planted the bulbs 3 weeks ago in a pot indoors, and I have lovely 4 inch green seedlings. Will need a few more weeks to see them flower. Too cold for outdoors around here.

Hi there Swamp Sparky, thank you for your interest in our 50 Varieties Heirloom Seeds. Many, if not all of the seeds, would produce well in Hardiness Zone 8b. Of course, each different plant type will require it's on unique care when planting. Although the low temperatures aren't extreme, they can still be cold enough to kill tomatoes if they aren't kept indoors until those low temperatures are past. Some of the plants won't do well if planted in direct sunlight where the high summer temperatures reach into the 90's on a pretty regular basis so locate those plants accordingly as well. I've thought about adding this information to the bonus downloadable Planting, Sprouting and Storing Guide that you receive access to with your purchase of our survival seeds, but that's a daunting task that will take a huge time commitment. Thank you again for your interest in our 50 Varieties Heirloom Seeds.

Hi...I live in 7B so I have to bring it in in the winter to avoid the cold. (it has actually done better inside than outside, producing almost constant blooms.) it seems to do best in Bright sun. As it is in a large pot, mine has reached about 4 ft high by 3 feet wide. A word of caution...the flowers tend to stick to things as they drop.

the Bulb is not weather resistant however I don't believe the cold will affect it is very dim though

Should be okay. Doesn't get too hot. A bulb in the 6700k color range will be better for plants. However, it depends on what plants you are growing

I can't answer that because I don't know where you live. Here in Kansas City area where it gets cold, no. They will freeze and die. I dig up bulbs and just put them in a can in a cool place like the garage. I do put some in pots and grow them as house plants in winter. They are very easy to keep through the winter. I have had some I didn't dig up come back if we had a mild winter, but you never know. steve

This plant will grow in zones 4-6. You should be fine with it. It will survive snow. It's a perennial. I haven't even planted mine yet. We have a frost warning for tonight. Crazy weather. I'm using it for around rocks in a rock garden to fill in the spaces. Good luck!

Absolutely. In fact it will thrive in that location. You may even be able to direct seed and I would image it will naturalize in your climate. I would suggest starting some indoors as well as direct seeding just to be safe. Good luck and thank you for helping to save our Monarch Butterfly population in North America!

Indoors is fine, but it needs light. Mine gets about 4-6 hrs of direct light from a nearby window. The other important thing is water. Don't let the soil be dry for more than 1 day, and don't let it sit soaking bottom up. As long as your room is not over 90f or below 60 that's fine. Mine still shows those tiny white flowers from time to time after almost a year.

Plant indoor to start and move to outside when it will no longer freeze. They are very cold sensitive and prefer a bit of shade for best blooms.

I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house. Good luck and thanks for asking!

I am growing mine inside and put it outside in the warmer weather. It does need a sunny location to flower but if you don't have that area the plant is still pretty. I live in MA in a cold apartment with very little light so it doesn't flower and I also forget to water it a lot and it has been a very forgiving plant but of course it doesn't thrive when I neglect it.

I haven't tried it as an indoor plant, but I have mine where it gets about 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight a day

Almost all plants that grow outside can grow inside (but not all indoor plants will grow outdoors) the question is under what conditions-it it receives adequate sun, moisture and even temperature, it will live but whether or not it blooms under these conditions I couldn't tell you not knowing those factors. The plants I recieved are growing but not robustly which I attribute to our wierd weather this year-in the 60s one week upper 90s the next
