I live in a tropical climate and would like to take some garden seeds, poppies, cornflower, daffy bulbs etc, to brighten up my garden. In the U.K. we sow seeds in spring, if I sow seeds at any time of year in a tropical climate will they get confused or will they germinate anyway?
Will seeds get confused or just grow?
You sowed seeds in the springtime in UK because that was when the soil had warmed to allow the seeds to propagate and they would have the spring and summer to establish themselves during the warm weather.
In a tropical climate, you really don't have to worry about the season you plant, as the seasons are usually so similar, and the ground is already warm.
Sow all the seeds you want and whenever you want, as they'll probably do fabulously well if they can handle the heat of your new tropical climate.
Reply:They will germinate and usually tropical seeds takes about 2 to 3 weeks. BIg seeds need to soak.

Reply:Many factors govern what make,s germinate and grow.Some will aclimate after one season and have a longer growing life to maturity.P.S. only people get confused dear.
Reply:They will germinate but may not flower properly as some plants need a cold snap to trigger the flowering mechanism. Others will not tolerate the heat or reduced day light hours tropical countries have. It is always worth a try, but check that none of the seeds you intend to plant are classified as invasive by your country's department of agriculture.
