An aside.... I have actually had run-of-the-mill garden center A. coronaria winter over here, amazingly.  (However, they never do anything in their second season, so the point of them doing so is moot!)  It suggests that certain strains must be quite hardy, though.

I have had them flowering here from seed in 6 months. The seed sown in autumn germinated in spring and flowered in the seedpots before I was able to plant them out in autumn. Maybe we just need a quick to flower seed strain  ;)

A. pavonina survived last Winter, where we had down to minus 12°C on some occasions - It seem's to have coped well with the present winter as well - not quite as cold as last year's (down to -9° C) but with a much longer frost period.  Leaves are pushing through right now !  :D
