Do you want to grow johnny jump up seeds in Nebraska, but don’t know when to start them?
Starting johnny jump up seeds is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:
- Johnny Jump Up Seeds must be consistently watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.
- Because Nebraska’s growing season is not long enough, johnny jump up seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.
Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start johnny jump up seeds indoors in Nebraska:
