Here are all the ones where i have zero germination: [in no particular order]

New York Asters - i think "Purple" [the ones i got from Gram]
Waves Petunias [duds for me last year too -- wont do these again]
Delphinium x elatum
Bee Balm [though i've had a few others that did]
Malva Aclea var. fastigiata
Cypress Vine
Hardy Hibiscus
Columbine Woodside
Columbine McKanna's Giant
Chives [from weezen]
Malva Sylvestria
Salvia, Coral Nymph
Sweet Basil [2 small containers]
Mystery Bee Balm
Variegated Fountain Grass
Cup Plant
Anmeria Maritima
Veronica Red Fox
White Veronica Speedwell
Globe Amaranth Strawberry Fields

containers where only one seed germinated:
Cosmos - Sonada Mix
Gaillardia - Burgandy
Basil
Joe Pye Weed
Yarrow - paprika
Texas Star Hibiscus
Liatris Blazing Star
Snake Root

I honestly feel like i did something wrong this year. too much water, not enough, started too late, wrong soil.

And as i mentioned in a different thread... I feel the [my] germination rate is very low.

Chocolate Daisys 20 seeds, 2 seedlings
susset hyssop 16 seeds, 3 seedlings
Scabiosa, White pincushion 20 seeds, 9 seedlings
Indain Summer BES, 33 seeds, 2 seedlings

OH -- this is out of 75 containers.

OH well -- guess we can have an OFF year.
