Ex. Park Seed, as 'Harmony Double" mix.
Seed origin; Japan. Seem to "damp off", quite easily.

As I'm quite sure I could much more quickly, & easily seen results with other cultivars, all ready for planting out, in Autumn.)

Uncertain, as to exactly why. Although after having given ample time "cold stratification", not a single seed, has ever even began to produce so much, as even a radicle. December 31, 2020: Seeds sown (Stratification, for approximately 90 days.)
June 9, 2022: Plant emerged (I wasn't exactly certain, of the exact date, they'd germinated. While I'd suspect I've finally found, right where I'd sown them.)
