I haven't done any seeds since we moved up here yet but when we lived in zone 10 south Fl. I always just planted the seeds straight out of the pods like Michele. Well, I didn't have her tray set up but I mean I just went from pod to little pots that I started them in. I had great success with that. About 90% germination rate. Then I would generally have scapes blooming in 7 months. I expect it will take a bit longer up here.
