How do I grow marigolds?Gloriosa daisy?Irises?

How do I grow sedum?Prarie coreopsis?Jacob's ladder?

Marigolds are easy from seed. Barely covered and you can transplant the thinnings easily. Plant them deep like tomato transplants.
I have not planted gloriosa daisies.
Iris' I have growing from bulbs or rhisomes depending on the type. Rhisome types not too deep. Bulb about three times their own size in depth.
Sedum grow easily from cuttings in fast draining soil. They do best when dried out a little between watering. There are hundreds of kinds.
Coriopsis is a sun loving plant that are easy to grow from seeds and will self sow where they are happy.
Jacob's ladder is a shade plant here and they have just never done well with my weather conditions. I keep trying though.
I don't know if you are asking about seeds or plants or what your needs are exactly, Enrique.

I'm asking about seeds because I scattered some of the above seeds and covered them with soil a few days ago.Now I'm waiting for them to sprout.I'm planning to sow some more in the spring.

How long does it take for the above plants to germinate?Wht are their fertilizer needs?

In california , keeping them moist, I would say within a week.

ok got it.The soil in the area where I planted the seeds is moist.Guess I'll water again in a few days.

Let me know if they germinate ..

All I found were some weeds growig.I pulled out the weeds.weeds sprout before the plants.

do they plant year round in Cal?

Yes the weather's warm enough.Today's high is 87 degrees.

Of course .weeds do sprout first..
