I was given some seeds ( Hibiscus, Cosmos, Nica-tiana, and Hollyhock). What is the best way to start them? I was thinking about just sprinkling them on the ground and seeing what happened. I would like to get them to grow asap. No I am not very patient person. THanks fer the advise
Seeds
Cosmos, Nica-tiana, and Hollyhock- I would rake the dirt and then plant them-covering them lightly
Hibiscus- I would soak in warm water first and let a few even sprout before planting outside!
Might as well wait for warmer weather
Torquay.......I hope you have extra patience because the Hollyhock are gonna take a few years to bloom.....they are a bi-annual. Keep in mind this little rhyme about perennials.
The Cosmos is a annual and should come up this year as well as the Nicotiana.
The first year they sleep.
The second year they creep
The third year they leap!
