Thank you so much for these instructions. I live in Indiana and have multiple times tried starting the seeds outside to no avail. In my mind I assumed that since the plant grows so well in this area that they would survive winter. Not so much. Trying your method now. Hopefully, I will now produce viable starts. I am getting older and am trying to get as many perennial plants in my one acre garden as I can before I retire. Appreciate your easily understood instructions.
