How to Sow
Schizanthus have small seeds, which would usually mean you shouldnt cover them too deeply but they also need to be in the dark to germinate. A covering of 3mm should keep them dark enough, or you can sow them in containers and cover the container to exclude right so that you can be extra-sure of good germination.
