    I am new to winter sowing. I bought some seeds and need it they can be winter sowed.

    Alpine Sea Holly
    Sea Holly
    Striped Malva
    Beauty of Livermere Oriental Poppy
    Red Flame Angel Viola
    Tiger Eye Angel Viola
    Irish Moss
    Viallii Primrose
    Sweet William var 'Sooty'
    Amber Kiss Angel Viola
    Monarch's Velvet

    Please advise I don't know if this can be winter sowed or not. This is my first year to winter sow.

    Hi Anita,

    Yes to all except the Irish Moss, which is a "maybe". The people I have heard talking about is haven't had good luck with it, but I never heard why.

    In zone 4 or 5, you might consider getting a jump start with the Violas and Primulas and sowing them inside. You would get 2 more months of bloom on the violas if you did this. Or does it stay cool in the summer where you are?
