Godi, As I recall, these seeds are good-sized and prefer in situ planting -
which I never do. So I plant them in peat pots. They also like warmth, so
don't start them indoors too early as when you transplant them the soil
should be warm. Here in Zone 5 I would start them inside in late April and
they don't start blooming until August. I also seem to remember that I
soaked them overnight before planting.

A friend gave me some moonflower seeds. Does anyone know if they need
special treatment before planting.
It's been very warm in our neck of the woods. 70 today. Tonight the
temperatures will plummet about 30 degrees, it's November after all.
