My self saved white mallow hasn't popped either  

Is it musk mallow? Malva alcea and moschata both need cold (5 Celcius) to initiate germination. I've some some in the fridge which started germinating within a few weeks.

No, these are an annual mallow, lavatera trimestris? I had trouble germinating them last year... thought it would be better from my own saved seed? Maybe I should try fridge first anyway?

In that case, the website I use for germination information says it should take 5-10 days at 22 Celcius, no cold required.

Really useful website as the instructions on seed packets can often be wrong about germination conditions - https://tomclothier.hort.net/

That's a useful link, thank you. My go to is usually Chilterns... but disappointed in these lavetera seeds. It's always the ones you want!
