I almost never direct sow any more. Several reasons mostly the weeds always seem faster than the flowers .
I can strongly recommend the winter sowing method. There is a whole forum on it.I sow most things in February when I have a lot more time and leave all the care to mother nature.
I have about a 90 percent success rate . I keep a few seeds back on the real special plants.
The biggest problem is there are always more plants than space.
