Hi. I've planted two packets of seed for Four O'clocks and have had very spotty germination. I've never allowed the soil to dry out and the two packets were from two different, but reliable, sources. Since they reseed themselves so readily, I was really surprised to have this problem. Has anyone successfully started them indoors under lights and then moved them outside? I also can't remember if this is a variety that does better if soaked overnight before planting, though none of the seed packets made any mention of that. Thanks for your advice.
