Last September I planted Meadow Cranesbill seeds in plug trays (the secret of getting good germination is to rub the seeds between sandpaper to slightly break the hard protective coating). I planted some of the plugs in bare areas in the field in the first week of November with plastic tube protectors:
About half have survived the winter, but are all pretty small:
The rest were kept in pots in an unheated greenhouse over the winter, about 80% survived and they look like good healthy plants:
This has seemed to work well in the past, when I planted them in January. This year they have only just gone into the ground - so it will be interesting to see the best strategy.
