Phicks, Did you soak and/or nick the seeds? I've just been told that I WON'T see blooms 1st year without a time machine and a fast forwarding joystick! (grin). Where'd you get your seeds from?

I dont mean to be a pain but when do you put them into a big pot until you can plant outside? Now they are in a big peat pot. Thank you for any help.

I've just had 5 of 6 germinate in less than 2 weeks. Started with a 24 hour soak in distilled water, with a change after 12 hours. Two of the seedlings needed help with their seed coats, but this was not a problem.

Good luck!
