Re: Planting flower seeds
It would really help to know what it is... a perennial? annual? biennial?
Seeds have different requirements, even though most will germinate nicely
on top of moist sterilized seed-starting soil under fluorescent lights --
unless they're bigger than tiny in which case they need to be buried a bit,
by rule of thumb. If it's an annual, you'd seed it in spring, if a
biennial, usually in late summer/early fall. Are you sure the seeds are
ripe? If they come in pods, you need to let them ripen. If you're not
planting them right away, you'll have to dry them and them store them in
the refrigerator (not freezer) in some receptacle that will keep them dry
but won't let them mold.
