| I am giving up hope that my zinnias would still come out. I put the seeds in about 6 weeks ago, which I thought was late, but this spring in Vancouver is unusually cold, even today hovering around 10 degrees C (where are our May 20 plus temperatures??). I have not seen any signs of any sprouting. I planted some alyssum seeds just a week ago, on an exeptionally warm day and yesterday they were out. Should I give up on zinnias and start thinking about using the space differntly, or is this normal? my first time planting zinnias so have no idea.
thanks! |

| Zinnia germinate at 24 to 28 Celsius you need to increase soil temp or plan or another flower to fill that space. |

| thanks yiorges, does that mean that the seed is spoiled now or it will still germinate once we get those temperatures? |
