: G'day, ya'll --

: I eagerly read all the posts this spring but I still have questions.
: Someone mentioned starting the seeds on a towel & others mentioned taking a
: very long time for them to germinate.  & others mentioned putting them in the
: frig/freezer for a couple months first.
: I have a new supply of seeds & am hoping some of you can give me some tips or
: suggestions where to get more specific info.

: Allwood Pink
: Catnip
: Delphinum
: Liatris
: Yellow Loosestrife
: 
: I am wanting to start them inside & then plant them outside Sept. 1.
: Recently there's been some talk about putting them outside in a shady spot.
: Is it really worth growing your own when you have to use flourescent lights
: for a long period of time??  Seems like the expense would offset the savings.
: Do most of you do it for mass plantings or to get unusual varieties or are
you
: just compulsive like I am??
: 
: One more question --
: I picked up a pkg of Moss Verbena (Verbena tenuisecta) - Is it really NOT
: hardy in zone 5???  Love Verbena but haven't had any luck yet getting one to
: survive the winter.
: 
: Once again, thanx for your help!!!
