I just planted mine. They are one of the few things I direct seed. They grow pretty fast. It may be a month before they are starting to look really good, but it will take even longer for petunia cuttings to really take off.

Do it.

Thanks Mandolis. I just put some in water to soak and will plant them tomorrow. One question - do the seeds need light or dark to germinate? Do I have to totally cover the seeds with soil? Thanks for any info.

Yes soak them and totally cover them with soil. plant them as deep as the seed is wide. Keep the soil moist so they can burst through the outer coating

My Nasturtiums, soaked and planted from seed are just peeking through the soil now. If you plant now in a month they will be blooming

Thanks Dowlinggram. I did that today.
