HA -- Hardy Annual. Hardy annuals can stand some frost, so sow in the open ground well before the last spring frost date, or, in warm winter areas, sow in fall. HHA -- Half-hardy Annual. Half-hardy annuals will survive a very light frost but are planted in the open at the last spring frost date or a little later. They can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost. TA -- Tender Annuals. Tender annuals are warm weather plants that cannot withstand any frost and prefer warm nights. Tender annuals with long weeks to bloom (16-18+) should be started indoors 8-10 weeks before the last spring frost.
I just loved the size of these flowers. I couldn't believe I grew this from a tiny seed & I still have flowers in November. I am from zone 7a & started them outside in April. I prefer to start seeds in a flat tray outside so I can tell which is the seddling or weed insted of direct sow.
