Go to your local flower market. Local growers will often sell flower seeds along with full-grown flowering plants. This is a good option because you can go back and talk to the grower if any questions should arise. It also gives you the chance to see what the flowers will really look like once they are full size. Buying from local growers will ensure you get flowers that flourish in your particular area. There's nothing worse than planting flower seeds, waiting expectantly for their arrival, and finding out the soil wasn't suitable.
