 o
will my zinias germinate

Posted by ivy2 zone 3 (My Page) on

I was over zealous a week ago when the weather was nice and warm and planted my Zinias. Since then we have had some really cold weather (-3 with the wind chill) Can anyone tell me if there is any hope of my seeds germinating? It is a very large flower bed in my front yard so I grow from seed. Not even 1 seed has sprouted yet. When I have started them in the house they only take 2 - 3 days.

Thanks

Once the weather, and soil, warms up again, they should germinate. I wouldn't worry about them yet. The reason why they germinate in the house in 2-3 days, is because it's warmer than outside.

thanks Laurie. it's still really cold here and there's a prediction of snow. I'm crossing my fingers.
