Cool germination works best - I soaked mine for 24 hours and put them in a pot about half an inch deep in an unheated greenhouse on Monday. Four seedlings poked up yesterday.

You are all so beyond my simple enjoyment of salvias and zinnias. But if the more interesting annuals can be gotten as seeds, I'm going to try some. I'm pretty good with starting seeds indoors.
