Those seeds usually sprout in fall, then winter over as tiny seedlings in my flower beds with no protection. They are hardy annuals and take winter weather just fine. My flower beds had a solid blanket of them , an inch or two tall, as winter set in. We've had snow on the ground and single digit temps for weeks so I can't see anything but white now.

Milk jugs won't overheat if they have good ventilation. Don't use the screw-on lids. Those flowers get there start in life here, naturally. It's easy if you let it be.
