Sow them now if you have them - they need to grow a bit before winter hits. Alternatively, toss them out in muddy slush this winter and press them in with your boot. If you can do it right before a refreeze, it's even better. They seem to germinate best in darkness, but they don't like being planted too deep - so if you sow them now just cover them with a piece of board or something similar, and check them often.
All I usually do to add to mine is to do the winter thing.
[I did container sow some Parisian Pink this year on February 15th, and recorded sprouts on March 15th.]
