Everlasting sweet pea seeds

I know it's a bit late but after socking for 24 hours I have planted everlasting sweet pea seeds(white pearl .I love them .The flowers seem to glow in the twilight)The sowing instructions say to plant a quarter of an inch deep but not to exclude light as it helps germination which is a bit of a contradiction I think.What should I do?

Thank you I'll do it in the morning.I'd played it 50/50 .I've covered half with soil and placed the other half in a lovely little hole uncovered.I'll put them to bed in the morning.
