Author Message   Stephie  Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 02:29 pm EST :    I have just planted these seeds after a few weeks of cold stratification and 24 hours soaking. I heard they are slow and erratic germinaters and am wondering if they are worth the wait...never seen them in real life???

I'm in z5 and still find a few popping up +6 years after the one plant I had went to seed. Just a warning.

I wanted them by a gate where there are no other flower gardens but my veggie garden is about 50 feet away.....oh..oh. Maybe I'll toss them.
