Cerinthe Purple Bells germination

I started some Cerinthe under lights, and many seem to come up as twins, 2 seedlings from the same seed. They don't seem like really strong seedlings, is it better to leave them together or try to split them up and replant?

how far are the lights from the seedlings??? that is usually the root of the issue with weak seedlings.. indoors ...

I've had this happen with cerinthe seeds as well. Apparently twins are common to this plant. Cool! I didn't try to separate mine.

My lights are 11" away, so not that good for keeping the seedlings short, but it is so cold here at night during the summer they won't bloom until Sept. probably unless started early. I haven't grown them before so I don't know what to expect. I did see some lovely plants over by the beach once.
