Anyone got any tip for getting these little beggers to germinate, mine have been in a heated prop for 4 weeks and not showed themselves as yet

I usually throw the seeds on the garden when I cut back my verbena at about this time of year. They always seem to germinate as I often have to thin them out.
I wonder if they are a plant that needs some cold to start them into growth. If I have any left in the garden to cut back, I can send you the seed.
I'll go and check - the goldfinches might have had what's left.
BTW I never could grow them from seed in a propagator so bought one plant and grew as above! -
Try putting them in the fridge for a week and then see if there is any difference

I love it but it grows everywhere and anywhere in our garden!

Seems that you start them from seed, only a few places do them. T&M had them for 99p though, but with...Today, 10:17 AM
