Hi Stacey,
I have some of these seeds that you sent me last fall. I want to try them as an annual this summer. Do you have any hints on germination? Should I soak them? Is it too early to start them in the greenhouse?
It is pretty cold here in Jan and Feb, so the GH is about 50 at night...do they germinate down there while it is cool or do they wait for real warm weather? Any help is appreciated!

Hi Susan,

I can't tell you much about the seeds except that Mother Nature surface sows the seeds through the winter here. This is an annual wildflower all the way up into Delaware so the cold sure doesn't hurt the seeds.

How's that for not much help?? Ü

Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Stacey. I will try a few now and a few more later if the first ones don't sprout.
My little aristolochia is starting to climb it's trellis. I am so pleased with it.
I think the Blue Curls will be nice, too.
