Yes this works for most seeds although not particularly necessary for most. What seeds?

Mainly perrienals black eyed Susan and jump up joes?

That’s what I do and I leave by the window. Just check the paper towel once in a while because it can dry out..

Thxs! How long do you leave

Until you start to see the seeds “opening up”
