I always put 2-3 seeds per pot to start them (just in case they don't all germinate), and once they sprout and look nice and healthy (1-2 inches tall) I just take a pair of scissors and snip the extra ones, leaving the most healthy one to continue growing. I don't pull the extra ones out, because that may disturb the roots of the one I want to keep. Just a little snip.



Those kinds of seeds don't need to be started indoors, but can be if you want to plant them outside as plants. They are easier to control placement that way...good luck!
Reply:wildflowers dont need started in starter pots. they are really easy to take care of and will come up on their own fairly quickly if you plant them outdoors once it warms up and there is no threat of frost outside
Reply:Depends on where you are at...I would do 1 seed/plant to a starter pot in order to make it easier to plant later. All of these seeds do wonderful just scattered into your garden area with out "starting" them.
