Limonium seeds require complete darkness for germination so after you sow and water them, cover the pots (or tray) with a few layers of newspaper. If the seeds are kept warm at 70°-75°, they will begin to germinate in as little as 3-5 days. Once the majority of seeds have sprouted, remove the cover and move your plants to a sunny window. Thin and transplant the seedlings when the first ‘true’ leaves appear. Plant outdoors after all dangers of frost has passed.
