was planning to grow some aquilegia, verbena bonariensis, and a hardy
geranium from seed

Firstly wondered whether someone could recommend some hardy geraniums
which i plan to plant out in a border that will get good light but only
direct sun for a couple of hours at most in height of summer?

i want all these plants to flower next year so is it possible to wait
until next spring and sow then or do i need to do it now for next year,
or is it too late for this year anyway. if i do grow this year when
should i plant out?

also i don't have a greenhouse just a east facing window which gets
good sun till lunchtime. will this suffice, do i need anything other
than a gritty compost to sow seeds on, and should seeds by watered from
below?

the more help the better, thanks!

I would be inclined to do the hardy geranium seed outside, if you have no
cold frame make a wood frame, like a draw with no bottom and a sheet of
glass or acrylic weighted down. use a gritty well drained seed compost. I
normally sow mine in January but I don't think its critical.
