RE: Sowing seeds needing Darkness?

Hi Barb,  Just cover your seeds with a little of the medium you are planting
in, nothing complicated.  Seeds that need light are on top of the medium,
seeds that need dark are underneath.

Good Day, Everyone!
Do you all have your snow shoveled?
Naw, I don't either.

I am starting some of my perennial seeds.
A few Lupines are already up.

I have several seeds that I am wanting to plant that need Darkness to
germinate.
    Centaurea
    Delphinium
    Lupin
    Myosotis
    Pansies
    Papaver
Thought my list was longer but this is all I see right now.

My question is this:
How do I go about giving them the Darkness they require for germination?
I am confused b/c I have started Delphs and Lupins without doing anything
special.
But some of the other listed I have had little or no luck.
Am I making this difficult?
Thank You and Best Wishes!
