How Long Does It Take Seeds To Germinate?

The age old seed growing question: How long does it take for seeds to germinate? If you're new to growing seeds, then you might be wondering this exact thing. 

Of course, the time your seeds take to germinate will vary depending on the variety. But, on average, here are some need to know germination times to help you plan your growing calendar. 

Flower Seeds

It takes flower seeds roughly 14-21 days to germinate. On average, it can take around 2 weeks for flower seed to germinate, and around 50-60 days for a flower to, well, flower. However, many factors will determine how long it takes for a seed to germinate, like their growing conditions, where they're sown, what type of seed it is, etc.

Vegetable Seeds

Vegetable seeds can germinate within 7-10 days. We're going to sound a bit like a broken record here, but this time range will depend on the seed you're sowing! For example, it'll take much longer for carrots and celery to germinate, by double or even treble that time range. The best way to figure out how long your seed will take to germinate is to check your seed's growing instructions.

Herb Seeds

Herb seeds need time and patience. They take slightly longer to germinate than flower and vegetable seeds, and need optimum environments to thrive. However, many herbs are ideal for indoor growing which makes the whole process slightly easier - especially when you can pop them on a warm windowsill and wait till they appear!

On average, it can take 2-4 weeks for herb seeds to germinate, so keep this in mind when growing them for your favourite dishes. However, always check your growing instructions so that you know their exact needs and growing times.
