I have winter sown over thirty of these and placed them in a dark, cold shop.
Our temps seem to be moderating right now to the mid 20s at night and the 40s to mid to high 50s during the day.

I found this method on the propagation forum I think. Now I am really scared (nothing unusual here!) that they will germinate too soon.

Also, I am going to set up styrofoam cups under lights upstairs. The room is pretty cold because there is no heat source. Last year I put a DeLonghi heater there set
at about 50 degrees or so. Most everything germinated.

I have to keep reminding myself that I can start perennials for next year the old fashioned way in June also.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me. I am doing perennials now. I should be doing hardy annuals and biennials too, right? What hardy annuals do you have good luck with?
