The germination rate was great.

I planted three pinches of seeds after blocking out this small Auk container. It seems like every seed germinated! Any tips on how and when to thin these? You can see that they have their true leaves but are very short. Should I go in with scissors and mow this down to one seedling per block? Or let them grow in clumps like this? Thank you!!
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests4/12/26Hey Tabitha,
We're absolutely thrilled to hear your Feverfew Seeds had such incredible germination! What a wonderful problem to have - it sounds like you've got a fantastic success rate there! For thinning, you're spot on with using scissors to snip the extras rather than pulling them out, which can disturb the roots of the keepers. Since they have their true leaves, now is actually a perfect time to thin them down to one strong seedling per block. Just choose the healthiest, most vigorous looking one in each section and carefully snip the others at soil level. Your remaining feverfew plants will have much more room to develop into those beautiful, bushy plants with those lovely daisy-like flowers! Keep on growing 🌻️
- Linda L.PA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/1/26Fantastic Germination
I started this one in the grow room. The germination was excellent. I’ve already up-potted the plants. They’ll get hardened off and go into the ground as soon as the weather settles. I’m looking forward to some showy blooms.

- Katherine H.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3/18/26Beautiful!
I bought these seeds on a whim and they were one of the most successful out of all I purchased. I winter sowed them in a plastic container in January and by mid February they were germinating. Excellent germination rate and I’m looking forward to seeing those beautiful dainty blooms.
