    forget messing around in the fridge LL. Just sow them in a pot, Cover them with grit and leave them outside or in a cold GH for the winter. They'll germinate in the spring

    My neighbour gave me some seedlings this year which I need to plant out when they're bigger.  What conditions do they like?  It's a red Astrantia Major.

    Oohhh...mmeeeeee. I love them. I planted some seeds last autumn and they are still coming up now. Am I right in saying that they are very slow in growing? I have 6 which have taken but they seem to be taking forever. I mean, the seedlings only have 3 leaves on each at the most. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong???

    That's how my seedlings look too Oakley, but they look Oakley so I think it's okay.
