I am confused about whether there are plants that are too tender to allow winter sowing. It seems clear that plants such as tomatoes that die in a fall frost can still be winter sown, in part because I know their seeds will sprout after a cold winter in the bed where the grew the prior year, and in part because others have told me they are good for winter sowing. But I understand impatiens do not winter sow well, although they are sometimes hardy in my region.
So my question: Are there some seeds that will not survive winter sowing because they are "tropicals?" What about "tender" perennials? Can all annuals be winter sown, or are some too "tender"? I am sure there is a line, but I don't see where it falls.
