I read that columbine seeds need to be chilled -after- planting two
varieties the regular way(in the light, and at about 65 degrees.) However
both kinds germinated anyway, so apparently at least some kinds don't need
to be chilled. Maybe I'd have had more complete germination if I'd
stratified the seed.
