I planted 28 Black Mondo Grass seeds and ended up with...28 seedlings! When I potted them up I decided to double up most of them, since I'm not even sure what I'll do with 14+ pots, let alone 28. Anyway, it's fun to have something germinate so well--a lot of my experiments don't work out. I don't know if it matters, but the seeds weren't collected until some time in December, so they had a month or more of freezing nights, though the weather this year has been particularly mild.

I'm using little test cups to see if seeds I collected last fall are viable.
1. Garlic chives
2. Gailardia
3. Amsonia
4. Helenium
5. Carolina Allspice
6. Ligularia
7. Veronicastrum
8. Coreopsis
9. Maltese Cross
10. Hibiscus
11. Obedient plant
12. Not sure

I have lots more seeds but this way I figure if something isn't viable, I won't waste a bunch of space and pots.
