Ordered a load of seeds from Chiltern seeds, mainly for rockery plants so months of waiting for germination no doubt. Some need stratification or just leave out during winter which means we'll probably have a heatwave.  |

So, how did they go S.P. Did you get germination...? It was certainly cold enough here 😕

Well done S.P 😁 What rockery plants did you grow from seed? I'm just getting back into rockery plants and have planted a few in an old sink this spring. Nothing special, just aubretia, saxifrage and a couple I can't remember the name of! They are really colourful! Got them from our local Morrisons, only £1 each 😀

Anthemis carpatica, Campanula portenschlagiana, C. poscharskyana, Aquilegia flabellata, Veronica gentianoides plus several others but not for the rockery.

Quite a selection then? 😀 I love Campanulas, Aquillegias and Veronicas but don't know those alpine varieties. Look forward to seeing pics when they're in flower S.P.
