Luck with starting flower seeds?

Has anyone had luck with starting flowers from seeds indoors? I'm looking for annuals for pots this year and would love to get started with some, but I haven't ever had good luck.

Re: Luck with starting flower seeds?

  • What are you trying to plant?  What went wrong

    Currently, I'm growing viola, pansy, agastache and dahlias.  Are you able to give them 12-16hrs of *direct* light?  None of my windows are very sunny so I use grow lights.  Also note that some plants (like the agastache) the seeds should not be buried...they need light to germinate.  The packet would tell you this.

  • I had a really bad time starting them without a grow light last year, so we're going to try again with a light system this year. I think it's hard for anyone to get enough sun for seeds without lights where I live (NE).
  • Can you recommend your grow lights? Last year I bought about $100 worth of flowers. This year we won't be able to afford it, so growing from seeds would really help.
