Amber,

Thank you for your timely advice regarding Pulsatilla. I recently received
four varieties from a kind member of the NARGS Ephemeral Seed Exchange.
Many more seeds than I had anticipated. I have sown them in four inch pots
with a peat/vermiculite mix. Your advice regarding placing them outside and
just forgetting about them makes allot of sense. Will they survive bitter
cold hard frost if I just place them outside now and forget about them
until next spring or should I protect them from freezing this winter. I
haven't gotten to the point of buying a fridge for seed propagation. (yet).
Thanks.
