Approximate minimum seed count per pack

Germination
Our favorite way of growing seeds is to sow in early spring or even late winter and transplant the seedlings out in the garden after the last frost. Sowing 5-6 seeds per pot gives good results The seedlings grow better when with others in the same container. Great as a back border and if you have well drained soils they can be left in the ground over winter with many, if not most surviving. Or you can dig them in autumn as for other dahlias.
