yes,
@RickCorey, they ARE Callistephus chinensis: Tall Pompon White from Outside Pride to be specific.
and I dunno whether its stratification or scarification, sorry
In any case, I think I'll just surface sow indoors, lightly cover with vermiculite. . . and cross my fingers! If they sprout, FINE!
If they don't, FINE!!
I'll just go to my backup plan for that area: Zahara zinnias: they popped up, no problem, last year.
I have about half the seeds I need to cover that area, but it won't kill me to leave part of it bare. 'Sides, that'll give me an excuse to go SHOPPING at my favorite nursery!!
