Started these guys from seed back in winter 2024. They were just small little plants all of 2025. Then exploded this year. Every time I park my car I see them and I’m mesmerized. Only 9 seeds grew. But I have 40+ flowers.

I’ve been wanting to try this, I have 2 sets of seeds- 1 pink and 1 purple. Any tips?

I did nick the seeds. Which did seem to help with germination. I believe these guys do need cold stratification
