I wintersowed them four years ago, never had to do them again. They reseed like crazy, but the only problem with the reseeds is that unless they are small, they do not transplant well... One thing I have to note about them. Japanese Beetles LOVE malvas, so they can act like a magnet for them and when they are finished flowering, if you cut them back, they can rebloom. My second rebloom is better because by then the beetles are pretty much done and the flowers/foliage look better. Carrie

Heee Heeee, shhhhh don't tell anyone, but YES!!! I am already making my list of wants and must haves and things I am giving up on growing and either I am going to trade some plants with neighbors or oh my I can't believe I am saying this go buy the plant. My collection of seeds for next year is standing pretty still but yes I have already started collecting seeds. Also I have been scoping out what my family members are growing so I can snatch their seeds along with my own to trade with come this fall. LOL I am an addict!! I need help!!

I start geraniums from seeds. Last year I began in Dec, this year i waited until mid-Jan. Those are up, getting second true leaf and are going to be transplanted tomorrow. I start the seeds in the house, then when seedlings are up, put the tray under a grow light until they are ready to transplant They do not need to be started in the dark, just cover the seeds lightly. I start with very, very moist potting mix, so there is plenty of moisture. Got my seeds from Parks and Stokes. germination rate is about 90-100%. You will be pleased with the final product this summer, as some of those will have 15-20 blooms on them all season. Enjoy!

Hello everyone! I am so excitied to read this post because I loved to starts grow seeds indoor and sit underlight! I think it is so fun doing it. Yes.. I had good luck with my daylilies seeds. I got those seeds last year and keep daylilies seeds in box and stored in ice box for a year! Then.. I wrapped seeds in damped loose paper towels and put them back in ziplock bags with named crossed. Then I put the ziplock bags in big plastic peanut butter jar and sitting on top of water heat tank until they sprouted. It takes one to two weeks. Depends on seeds! Then I planted sprouted seeds in good soil in 16oz. foam cups and sitting underlight. There is several different way to start grow daylily seeds. I got some daylily seeds from my girl friend who crossed her daylilies in AL. Hey James!!! Yes.. Yes.. the petunia seeds are soo tiny seeds. DO NOT COVER SOIL! Just try easy shake petunia seeds out of package and sit on top of Jiffy-7 and spray with warm water and then put Jiffy-7 in the tupperware lid and then sit on heating mat until sprouted. I planted Jiffy-7 in 16oz foam cups and sit underlight. I ordered Petunia Dolcissima Flambe from Park's Seed Co. I wish I know how to post pictures of babies. James..Can I send you email (pictures of babies) and you can post picture to show guys on the thread? Christie! Yes.. I ordered seeds and then recieved those seeds in few days! I was so surprised how fast they send me seeds. Now they are fat so babies! Have a fun!! Kat
