Rudbeckia and Silene

[Reks]

Hi All,
I sowed Rudbeckia and Silene seeds along with some Lavatera over a week back. The Lavatera germinated in 2-3 days but not sign of anythng with the other 2. Since the seed pack indicated that these seeds need warm place around 20 degree to germinate, I have these in modules on a plastic tray covered with a platic container in the boiler cupboard. I wasn't very sure that my window sill are really warm at this time of the year.
I have seen posts indicating on this forum indicating rudbeckia is very easy to germinate from seeds. Any tips on what I could do different or should I just be patient or move these to window sill even though its not too warm?
Any help is greatly apreciated!

I have found Rudbeckia very hit and miss on germination, I suggest you persevere; perhaps try another batch.
Once germinated they are also slow to get going particularly if the weather stays cool.

Hi, Ive been germinating Rudbeckia on my window cill this year just fine and as Reading isnt a million miles away I imagine your weather has been similar to mine.

Try another batch - If mine can germinate (and Im v v inexperianced) then Im sure yours will with persiverance.
Good luck.
