Special Care: Seeds with hard coats, like morning glories, can benefit from scarification, a means of breaking through the hard outer covering to allow moisture to penetrate. There are a few ways to accomplish this: either nick the seeds with sandpaper or an nail clipper, or soak them in water for 12 to 24 hours prior to sowing.
