Hi...I'm in zone 5 but I had success sowing these. I sowed them at the end of February. I didn't soak or stratify and barely covered the seeds. I noticed 3 little sprouts towards the very end of March. Now at the end of April I have 4 more tiny sorouts in the same jug. Unfortunately I didn't think to record the number of seeds sown so I can't be certain of the germination percentage. Seems weird that they would sprout so far apart but maybe there is hope for yours?? Good luck...I hope you have success. They are such beautiful flowers! HTH, Kimber

I grow them every year, but I never get as many as I want. I've found that the reseeders from the previous year always seem to germinate better than the ones I try to start. To take advantage of that trait, I sowed a row of them last fall so the seeds would get the full outdoor winter experience. I also froze and soaked some on the advice of something I read somewhere. Those are in the ground now too, and when things warm up more in Michigan, I'm hoping to see some success from at least one of the rows. Maybe the joke will be on me (not unusual) and I'll get most of my plants again from the reseeders. Anyone have any good tips? Johnny's seeds' advice is to sow them as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, so that's what I have been doing. ThinMan
