I have only sown seed the one time and the seedlings are doing well. I'm not too familiar with germinating them in pots. I would assume they need some amount of stratification.
I grow Astragalus whitneyi var. lenophyllus they are easy from seed.

Thank you for the information John.
Silene serpentinicola
is another that will be growing in the beds. I'm hoping its not too 'weedy'. It is a beautiful, stunning,
Silene
, bit I'm worried it may spread around aggressively?

Take a look at some of the smaller species of Penstemons and Eriogonums. You should find several worth trying especially the high elevation species.

It's amazing when one considers what has been done with plant (and animal) breeding.
How cool would it be if these plants could be bred to not go dormant until fall and to grow in other climates!

It has been a while since i have been on here but as the garden comes back to life so does my enthusiasm. I have grown V. beckwithii for many years now, it is very long lived though flowering waxes and wanes from year to year. I have found the trick to flowering with this plant is ample very early spring moisture and keeping it very dry soon after seed is set. gathering seed can be a pain if you wait too long as it sends them flying once the pod has dried. as of today(3-12-2013) all my plants of this species have broken dormancy and have barely come above ground.

Jim
Our's are also coming up, I have a couple of flowers on them already too. A sure sign of spring!!
Are yours all the white color form or do you get the lavender and reddish purple forms to?

I thought Viola pedata was the most beautiful Violet, I stand corrected. The foliage is choice.

I think my seedlings are about to put in an appearance,
. The surface of the covering mixture is just beginning to show signs of being raised,
