I wonder if you could answer a question I have-  I have just
received some Astrantia major, Eryngium Triparititum, oliverianum and agavifloum and primula seed.  I know these seeds are fresh -- is it better to sow now or wait until spring.  Also do any of them need to be sown in special soil? ???

If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning....

Primula I would (and have) sow now.  I just sprinkle them over regular multi purpose compost - I don't cover, but I do give the pot a tap to settle it, water, and they come up like cress within the week!  I'm afraid I can't helo you with the others as I have always sown astrantia and eryngium in the spring.

Thanks EJ - its off to the potting shed I go.
