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!

If you grow aquilegia and plant them in the garden, you'll never need
to do it again!
