    I planted many, many seeds in a variety of ways and not a single one germinated.:(

    Stock Seeds - Giant Imperial Mix

    Store owner replied: Hello Amanda G. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we are sorry they didn't germinate for you. Stock prefers cooler growing conditions, and germination can become less reliable as temperatures rise. The seeds should be sown very shallowly and kept consistently moist without becoming saturated, as drying out, overly wet conditions, temperature extremes, or heavy/crusted soil can all interfere with emergence.
