I have the same question as you. All my containers have germinated except my 4 o'clocks and my Stella d'oro daylilies. Oh, where are you, little sprouts?

I gave up and dug around in the containers today - they are definitely rotted - well the two I found anyway. Oh well - after reading more about them, I'm not sure I wanted to plant them anyway. I may try to start them now in warmer temps, though.

I don't know what zone, but I would wait until end of April for 4'oclock and Nasturiums. 4 o'clocks do best with compost or composted manure. I would DS them.

Thanks ladyrose. I always direct sow nasturtiums - I'll try that with 4 o'clocks too.

4:00 needs light to germinate and they don't like cold.

:)

Some of mine are rotted, others intact. No sprouts yet.

I poked around in my container of 4 o'clock seeds and saw one had sprouted so I left it alone. I'll just wait and see what happens with it.

Just an update: 3 of the 5 four o'clock seeds I had planted have sprouted. They all look good! Will DS some nasturtiums too, once I get some railing boxes for my porch.
