inoxia needs stratification, i would go ahead and put those seeds in the outside, bundle some leaves up around them , cover them up if they are in pots, and as it warms up, remove a few leaves every few days. ( That is what I do, but my inoxia comes back from seeds dropped every year anyway. I did the double purples outside in a pot, put them in the tub in end of february, and they were up big bold and gorgeous by end of May. I started some yellows and some lefleurs, no sprouts yet, I did not stratify them, sometimes the source stratifies and sometimes they don't before they send them to you. All my seeds right now are in the trunks of three cars and in boxes in an unheated garage. I get a few out every other day to plant in a starter container. Usually a water bottle or milk jug like above. MGS don't like their feet to get bothered, so I leave them in the plastic water bottles or two liters spout side down into the ground. you could do the same flat side down, just slit the edges before you stick it in the ground. This is a ragu jar.
