If you are asking about the winter aconites, they need to be sowed when
collected. I had great germination last year. Of course, one never knows
how long before they bloom but it is the only way to get a lot of plants and
make a statement.

I have planted snowdrop seeds for 3 years and now have 3 pots with varying
size of leaves. I think the largest ones may bloom next year. Hope so but
need to lightly feed again before dormancy.

Blooming in our Wiarton garden (z5a/5b) are crocus, galanthus,
I. reticulata and Eranthus. If you would like some seed Lillian, I could
catch mine for you as I have a nice little patch now. Just let me know.
Anyone know if they need to be sown 'fresh'?
It is going to be 68 degrees here tomorrow, maybe the rest of the snow
will disappear. ;-)
