wally_1936(8b)Updated Here in Texas they had no problem sprouting in the summer and are self seeders. Never worried about the soil as if they will grow in Texas soil they should grow anywhere. Have you any friends who are growing a Rose-of-Sharon Bush?...

calistoga_al ca 15 usda 9Updated Mums are robust growers that often grow too tall and fall over before blooming. Starting them so late in the year that may not be a problem, but should be anticipated. Here in California where we have a long growing season, I have...

Sun exposed seedlings

oilpainter(3)Updated That's a hard lesson to learn! Leave them a while and see if they get new growth below the dead part. If you cut them off now they won't survive at all with no leaves. The stem may not be completely dead and have enough alive to g...
Seeds smell bad after they've been in water for several days

oilpainter(3)Updated To my mind all of your seed is contaminated. I doubt any will sprout. Some people soak their seeds overnight before planting, but 24 hours is the most you should leave them. Next time put your seeds in a wet but not sopping coffee...

karyn1(7a)Updated Once they sprout they need to be kept lightly moistened, not wet. I agree it sounds like you may have over-watered. Allow the surface of the soil to dry a bit before watering again. The amount of water needed decreases as they get...

oilpainter(3)Updated Well some may give you flowers in September and some won't germinate in the heat of July and August and some may not flower at all. Is it too late--I'd say so, but if you want to try go ahead. If it were me I'd save them for next ...
