Hi, Go_vols: No, no special tips. My methods are so different because I always start them indoors. They seem to germinate quite well, and the seeds look prehistoric! They also transplant well, but they're always a bit tempermental when I start weaning them off the dome lid... they want to wilt. I have to raise the lid a little each day and see how they react. If they are started outdoors, I doubt that it would be an issue.

I've grown Touch of Red for several years, and I wasn't sure I'd like this one, but it's beautiful.. yes, cynoglossum is that vivid shade of blue that would really set these off. In my climate, they look great with midget blue bachelor button and bloom about the same time.
