Can you make most package seeds germinate MORE quickly by placing them on a warm moist paper towel?

I'm growing some easy one's as don't have time unfortunately to tend a garden all season:


zinnia's,Felicia[bergeriana], Lupine[russell mixed], sweet peas[blue ripple]


are the sweet peas and Lupine, Felicia all very easy to grow?

Can you make most package seeds germinate MORE quickly by placing them on a warm moist paper towel?
Buy covered peat pots at the local nursery. (they were right next to the seeds when you bought them) Follow instructions.
Reply:I'd say place a paper towel inside a glass jar up against the glass all around. Then put some water in the jar. The paper towel should soak up the water and moisten the entire towel. Then place the seeds between the paper towel and glass jar. You should be able to see them germinate.
Reply:Put the seeds in water for a day or two. The paper towel works also but you do have to make sure it is kept moist.
Reply:This is possible but risky. If they dry out they may die quite quickly.
Reply:don't use the wet towel trick! use this.. get a cup, put some luke warm water in it and pour the seeds in it and let em soak for at least 18 to 24 hours then put em the ground and by the next day they'll be sprouting! cover the cup if u wish!
