How can I make my flowers grow?

Everytime I buy flower seeds they always grow to have a little stem and then gradually begin to die without any flowers forming.

Any tips?

I use ferry morse by the way. I bought 2 perennial and 1 annual pack

Do the stems get long? That’s called “leggy” they’re reaching for sun. South windows are best for starting seedlings, otherwise invest in “grow lights” to augment the light inside. Legginess tends to encourage damping off as algold said.
