Weather here in Quetta is still a bit cold. 0C in night and day is almost till 10C. Ranunculus can be grown till 15th April. Seedlings of Ranunculus or Gerbera are not avilalbe here in local nurseries. That is why I demanded the seeds.

I saw Gerbera plants in one of the local hospital, grown in the beds beside lawn. They were looking too beautiful, I m sure they all were grown by seeds.

Ok I got what u said and thank u so much for the reply and guidance.
