Do you want to grow linaria seeds in Hawaii, but don’t know when to start them?
Starting linaria seeds is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:
- Linaria 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 Hawaii’s growing season is not long enough, linaria 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 linaria seeds indoors in Hawaii:

When to Start Linaria Seeds Indoors
Depending on the type of linaria, it takes roughly 10 to 20 days to grow linaria from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden. And it could take 9 weeks for your linaria to bloom!
The approximate date of when you should start your linaria seeds indoors can be found by:
- Finding the last average frost date HERE
- And then subtract 10 days from it
You can also find the average last frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:
To help ensure the greatest success of your linaria seeds germinating you should:
- Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
- Use a grow light to control how much light your linaria seeds receive
- Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered
It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your linaria plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your last frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
