Books and seed packets are usually good guides -- often better than
other gardeners, whose conditions may vary widely.

Normal humans ignore the following, which is OT and for language
anoraks only:
I tend to use "sow" for seeds and "plant" for plants; with an
inconsistent preference for "set" for non-seed propagating material
(bulbs, cuttings, etc). Just had a look in the Dictionary, and the
earliest example Oxford has of "plant" for seed comes from 1615, while
its use for trees etc is recorded back to the ninth century.
