New and Interesting Flower Seeds for 2009

By , About.com Guide

Sure we all have our favorite plants we grow every year, but isn't it nice to try something new? Isn't that why we look forward to the seed catalogs arriving in our mail boxes every winter? The following dozen ornamentals are an assortment of new introductions and a few that have been around awhile but are just becoming widely available. Each offers something unique and many are suitable for growing in containers and small spaces. And they are all available online or through mail order, if not in your local garden center.
