 I suppose you could soak the seeds overnight before planting them. Are
you sure you are not ripping them up thinking they are weeds? They are
usually pretty easy to grow.
 I have saved the seeds from the red one in the past and they grow
great. 
 When I lived in zone 5 they would try to self-seed but the late frost
always killed the new seedlings. So just make sure the soil is warmed
before planting them.
