Aquilegias seed sown in Autumn germinates in Spring. They don't need heat, a cold frame will suffice. Sown in March they germinate in about eight weeks . I then pot into 7 cm pots. When the roots fill those pots they go in the ground, to flower the following year.
I gathered seed from my only Gaillardia plant last autumn and sowed them in a tray in the heated propagator on 10th March. So far none have germinated.
Any idea how long the seeds normally take to show?
My delphiniums are coming up amazing Sown on the 17th March taken a while 1 came up then more today they are in my plastic gh with a lid on, they are new seeds this year nice blue ones, I only sowed and covered with seed compost
Tend to get a bit carried away with Thompson and Morgan's cheap deals on seeds the image is early last year. I am going to be more controlled this year.......perhaps.

I sowed these on the 10th march, no heat needed, they are quite hardy.
I think there must be a problem with mine then Lyn. Are yours from fresh seed?
No Geoff, from a packet. They are very slow, I would suggest taking them out of the propagator and give them a bit longer.
I think I'm pampering them a bit too much. I'll leave them on the windowsill and see if any germinate. Thanks for all your responses.
