The very first flowers that are started inside are my alyssum seeds. I have two annual seeds that I use that produce either white or purple flowers. I do have a perennial type that is outside right now and should be showing some signs that it will begin to flower soon. With this warm weather I would not be surprised that it is starting to awaken from its slumber. These flowers are yellow and differ a little bit from their annual brothers.
Most other years I would plant three containers of alyssum and two of dill just to get a variety of flowers started right away. I wanted to do something a little different and instead of planting dill along with alyssum I just planted all the alyssum seeds that I had. I bought two packets and I was able to get five containers of alyssum seeds done. I have a few more seeds which I can add to some smaller containers later on. For now I have my alyssum ready and next I will be working on dill.
I keep them on the windowsill instead of placing them underneath fluorescent lights. Even if there was not much sun they sprout quite quickly and within a week I should begin to see signs of life.
