RE: rose campion

I have grown several different species of Lychnis, including the "Rose
Campion," and have not given special treatment to the seeds, although I
started them indoors rather than outside.  On the other hand, I have
usually had them spread in clumps rather than by re-seeding.  The
wooly-leafed types (such as flos jovis) prefer a drier soil for growing
than the Maltese Cross, Vesuvius, and the like, but that may mean it's
too dry for direct sowing...
