To obtain good germination the seeds must not be completely covered as some light is required to initiate germination. The pots are then soaked in water and allowed to drain.
Germination is very variable and can take from 14 to 120 days, but the average time is 30 days; more rapid germination can be obtained by soaking the seeds in water for two days.
Many of the plants will flower in the first year but in general they will flower to show their true potential in the second year. This entails over-wintering in a frost proof greenhouse or shed. #jennbringindoors
