Same with me. I live in zone 8. I bought the seeds from Ebay last summer. Few weeks ago, I moved the only two baby plants to larger pots. Still hope will see more seddlings coming.

Good luck.

I've started them under lights in my zone 4 in Jan. Usually I have flowers by the end of June, it takes a long time. But mine usually look great into october. I am looking for seeds to grow, more varieties. Any ideas?

I had great luck with SUMMER SHOWERS Hybrid geraniums last year. I also live in zone 4 and started in mid January. Had great flowers by May. The seeds are expensive, around 50 cents each but 18 out of 20 germinated and grew into nice plants. I grew them under shop lights. SwallowtailSeeds.com has them.

I was getting worried, I started some mixed geranium seed I bought from valuseeds.com, I sowed awhile ago, germination was good 16/18, but they seem stagnant, I feel like ive been waiting and waiting for the true leaves.I am also growing under lights.

They are very slow growing. I just started about 100 seeds last friday (1/19). The packets typically recommend sowing 10-12 weeks before planting outdoors. Here in NY this is my 5th year of growing them; I have settled on 16 weeks as a good starting point. This ensures that the majority are already in bloom before they get set out in mid-late May.

They are slow growing, but in my experience you should notice the first set of true leaves starting to emerge within a week of the seed leaves reaching maturity. I begin watering with a highly diluted liquid fertilizer (approx 1/8 strength) at this point.

I've grown Summer Showers, Florever Red, Ivy, and others with great success. Another trick that speeds up the growing process is that I germinate in folded, damp paper towels set in a tupperware container that I leave in a warm, dark place. I check it daily waiting until roots begin to emerge before moving to soil. It's a lot of work, but results in a high success rate.

After 5 days I have put 27 into soil, and 19 already have mature seed leaves. A quick check of the container this morning indicates another dozen ready to plant tonight.

Good luck!
