Not germinating
by Ben
So far I haven't had any luck with germination. I have tried not stratified and cold stratified methods. I generally have a high success rate with germination as I am fairly experienced. I will try direct sow in the fall. Really hoping I can get this plant to grow as it looks gorgeous.
Disappointing.
by KTK
I was really excited for these flowers. There were only 8 seeds in my pack (which was supposed to have 10), and only 3 of them germinated. Two are still alive, but less than 2 inches tall at over 2 months old. Maybe they will take off, but I am doubtful.
