Help with a plant that grows Fast*

13 years ago

Hey everyone! Need help finding a plant to grow from seed that generally grows fast. I am out of my zone here because I usually grow tropical plants that grow relatively slow. So what plant can I sow and see some growth out of in 8-9 weeks.

Hi,
Marigolds and cosmos to start. But different varieties have different performance characteristics. See below.
On second thought, what do you want this plant to accomplish?

If you want to grow something fast in Zone 7 wait till Spring, March at the earliest. Sow too early and not only will it not grow fast it may not grow at all!
