I have sown some Rananculas and Gazania seeds. its been around 18 to 19 days that they have not germinated !
My sowing method is to place seeds systematically on the sowing surface and sprinkle peat moss above it , Is there something wrong with this method ? Or whether it will take more time for them to germinate ?
By the way I am from Lahore , if temperature conditions have to be considered .

you are too late for seed sowing these species in lahore. Buy their seedlings instead.

Do nor buy your seeds from the same vender. How deep did you plant the seeds?
