Easy Seed Sowing: (5) How Long does Germination Take?.

Germination varies with the seed type. F1 Hybrid Geraniums can germinate overnight, whereas Begonias normally take 2 weeks.
Regardless of bedding plant type, germination should be complete within 3 weeks.
Remove the polythene and check your sowings at least once every day. If seedlings have appeared, move the tray to an area of good light , but not bright sunshine.
If you can see no sign of seedlings, replace the polythene cover.
