What I Can Expect - The Instant Flower GardenĀ® Heavenly Butterfly Garden plants will germinate in 1 to 3 weeks depending upon conditions and soil temperature. Patience is necessary in this phase. Cool evenings and overcast days can delay germination. Then, after the second set of leaves unfold, some thinning may be necessary to avoid crowding and allow for stronger mature plants. Over the course of 12 weeks, the 12 varieties will begin to appear in what we call "staged blooming." This means you will have a progression of new interest and color throughout the season. The heights range from 12 to 36 inches.
