Which Seeds Do Not Have To Be Covered For Germination

Question

I want to grow more flowers from seeds and want to know if there are seeds that do not have to be covered for germination.

Answer 1

Smaller seeds tend to not need covering. In zone 3, there are several flower seeds that do not require covering when sown, such as Forget-Me-Nots, Bachelor's Buttons, Larkspur, Sweet Alyssum, Calendula, Poppies, Cosmos, Nasturtiums, Johnny Jump-Ups, and Love-in-a-Mist. These hardy flowers can be directly sown on the surface of the soil, and they only need light watering for successful germination.
