These seeds are super easy to germinate - - direct sow outdoors in the fall. Before sowing, I dust the seeds by shaking them in an old pill bottle containing about 1/8th teaspoon of ground cinnamon - a natural anti-fungal agent that helps prevent "damp off". Sow seeds about ź inch deep.

I would love to try these, as I have the Kansas native ones, it would be fun to see them side by side.
do you still have any of these left?
zillions !
Lazlo I'd love to have some of these seeds please. They are a honeybee plant and I'm trying to sow alot of stuff for my honey bees.
Mindy - there's zillions of 'em left - - claim yours with snail mail.
It will go out tomorrow thank you.
Letting you know I received these and thank you very much for the surprise seeds.
lazlo...it is daphne corrigan again ....to bug u..how do i get seeds from these...and from the taller ones i have both...please help also i am sending evelpe for some from u...i just have a few plants myself and need a booost
slender brown pods form where the flowers used to be . . . green at first, they get brown just before they spring open and disperse their seeds. you can put them into a paper bag and let them pop open in the bag, or you can press on the sides of the pod between two fingers and make the pod crack open that way - - be careful not to do too many, tho - - - once i cracked open a few hundred pods that way and got neuropathy in the fingers i used - - numbness for about the next three weeks, and a little bit of pain, too.
thanz lazlo...is that the same for both types
i guess so, but know not for a certainty.
