Pricking out seedlings. These are phacelia lacy seedlings. The flowers are much loved by bees. They look very delicate but I would like to plant them out in the garden, when they look a little more robust! My question is when to plant them Out and how many leaves should each plant have before transplanting them outdoors? Thank you.

I would thin them out, then pot -say - half of them into individual 7cm pots. Only when they have made plenty of root will they be ready to go out in your borders.

Ok thanks for that. Will give it a try as the seedlings look very delicate.

i usually wait until there are 2-4 true leaves, the first leaves are seed leaves and will soon fade and drop off.
in the past when I grew this I sowed the seed directly in the ground. it is hardy and will self seed freely.
