A question about seeds not day lilies. I planted some very tiny seeds that I needed to sand a bit then lay on the surface of the soil and moisten well. The silly things germinated in two days (well, two did) then promptly died. I had pulled back the saran which is about 1" above soil level to peak. I think perhaps even that loss of humidity was enough to kill the seedling. They are laying on top of the soil seed, seedling and all. There are plenty more to germinate and the instructions say they germinate 'iradically'. I am thinking I need to leave them along except perhaps to spritz the soil if needed. I assume they will send roots down if left alone then become more robust. I planted a few odd seeds like trillium which require a warm-cold-warm-cold-warm cycle to grow. No luck finding plants up here so I am trying to grow my own. The other seedlings referred to above are a sort of hollyhock.
