That's funny, Rick! I had something similar happen when I tried growing dwarf columbines from seed. First ones I tried, I got about 50% germination. When I found out they needed stratification, I couldn't get those little rascals to sprout on a bet! I still have a package of white ones that just refuse to grow!
Oh, and darn you. Now I'll never get another penstemon seed to grow for me! I didn't know they required stratification! Sigh.
