@cybersix I think the Butterscotch Ruffles x After The Fall seeds were ones I donated to the ISB. They were harvested last year and after drying for a few days, refrigerated until I sent them in.
I think I have a few more seeds left so I can try to germinate them too. I also had problems germinating seeds but wintersowing works! Almost 100%! I suspect you are keeping the seeds too wet. That was my problem too. I started some seeds a month ago in germinating mix and got great germination by only bottom watering twice, removing standing water once the media was wet & mostly just misting the top of the mix daily. Once one seedling sprouted the little cup it was in went outside and the rest of the seeds sprouted fine (very little direct sun outside) over about 2 weeks.
