# I might need some advice with these bachelor button seeds. I wanted…

I might need some advice with these bachelor button seeds.  
I wanted to get ahead of the game by germinating the seeds via the “paper towel method” but a week has passed with zero chance in the seeds. Any recommendations? Or should I just put them straight in a pot with soil?

I don’t know specifically about bachelor buttons, but most germinate faster with heat support. Some also need a cold snap (eg time in the fridge before the heat).

I legit thought this was fruit flies on tape at first glance 😂

When it’s summer in my area that’s definitely what it will be like 😬😆
