Planted seed directly into soil mix from Pot to a pot in a small seed tray after allowing the seed to sit in water for 28 hours. Seed had a small sprout beginning to form. Seed was planted approximately 2 cm into the soil and lightly covered. It didn't take long for the seed to rise up. I'd say maybe 2 or 3 days after planting I found a nice little 1-2 inch seedling with beautiful colors come up.
