Hi everybody. I am new to the group, but have been enjoying reading the postings for a while. I need a bit of help here.

I have had success with growing quite a few perennials from seeds, but Lady's Mantle is defeating me! I tried and failed last year. I am trying again this year, but getting no plants at all. Not even one!

I sprinkled those TINY seeds over potting mix and used a plastic fork to scratch the surface to lightly cover the seeds. The pot has been kept moist all the time since the seeds were planted 3 weeks ago. So far, I have seen no signs of germination -- did get a few small mushrooms though :-)

Any advice? Thanks!

Here is a link that might help you. I have never grown this plant so I really don't know anything about it.

DanceyTx, thank you very much for the reply and the link.

An update on the seeds -- Seven seedlings have come out in the past 2 days :-) They are impossibly tiny. I am keeping them well shaded because the sun can dry them out in no time at all.
