Jim,

I've done my columbines in winter. I wintersow all perennials and hardy annuals like poppies or bachelor buttons, larkspur then. I've had them germinate very early, like the first of march, and subsequent frost doesn't bother them a bit. It's only the real tender things, like zinnias, that I hold back until spring.

Here's some WSown zinnias just starting to bloom in June.
