I just got these seeds in. Thought I would sow them & put them in the fridge for 3 weeks. Will they bloom the 1st year?

mine do. I don't do them the fridge way tho. I ended up with moldy dead seeds.
I put them in the ground instead very early like Mar. if we have a thaw.
Some times they grow and sometimes they don't. Fickle.
this year I'm storing some in the fridge to see if that improves my chances.

I've had them bloom first year by wintersowing.
They weren't super floriferous and a bit short the first year, but have grown to normal and returned for 3-4 years.

There were only about 8 or 10 seeds and only 3 of them sprouted for me. (Singles or mixed?)
I did not get any sprouting from the doubles and I wish I had kept them and tried a WS as they did not sprout at all from the frig.
I am not planning on the flowering the first summer.
