I'm in Zone 9 and my crownvetch did not bloom in the first year. It took it a year to get established, but once it did during the second year it is a prolific bloomer. Mother of thyme will bloom, but mine didn't until the end of the season, in autumn when our weather is cooler. It really likes well draining soil and does not like to stay wet or damp, but let it dry out completely before watering. I have mine growing between stepping stones on a path which may be why it took so long to bloom. My lavender is established now but hasn't flowered yet and I planted mine in April. It seems to be rather slow growing, but when I've had it planted at my old house it becomes a prolific bloomer once established. I've never grown the balloon flower so can't really tell you much about its blooming habits. For all of these seeds, make certain you plant them in good rich, soil for them to get the best start. Each packette of seeds will have the depth and planting instructions for your zone on the back.
Reply:i have crownvetch and wooly (mother of) tyme and they bloom prolifically, but not the first year. they are both drought tolerant, but bloom more abundantly with regular watering. i've never grown the others, so i couldn't say about them.
Reply:Re your lavender


You should be able to get some blooms off it in the first year. Make sure it is planted in well draining soil and that you water it regulary after planting to ensure good root growth.
