hi Mike, Sounds like the seeds probably were not kept moist enough after planting. They need to be evenly moist, and numerous waterings also leaches germination inhibiting compounds from them–use more control and sow seeds in a deep flat instead of trying to jump-start it in habitat–more control, yes. r

I will try this with the wild lettuce we have around here. I have a question for you, since you seem to be very knowledgeable here.
Why does Tanacetum Vulgare (Garden Tansy) and Tanacetum Bipinnatum (Dune tansy) Seeds never germinate?
I have ensured that they were properly cold stratified and planted them outdoors, the common variety on a hill in sunshine and the Dune Tansy seeds were planted in somewhat sandy soil by a lakeshore. I want to figure out what I did wrong so that I can try again in the Spring. I can easily collect the common tansy seeds here and the Dune Tansy, whch is more rare, I kept several seedheads. Should I try to germinate them indoors in early spring? I didnt want to since these kinds of plants seem to always show transplant shock no matter how many of the roots you safe (even if you save all of them).
Thanks

I nicked. I soaked. I tamped. I put under lights. I got nothing.

The Hibiscus must be nicked before planting otherwise dig them up and nick them and replant. If nicked, and give standard horticultural approach, barely covered, tamped, kept evenly moist and warm, then good results may be expected. These are about as easy as a seed gets.

I tried to plant hibiscus sabdariffa and there is not a trace of germination. It’s been 12 days. Should I give up hope?
