A lot of plants from that area germinate in fall. I've got Matthiola fruticulosa ssp. perennis 'Alba' seedlings coming up in the greenhouse, but I also scattered some in the garden and I've started seeing those ones come up, too.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-23823104758558074112015-11-25T09:42:11.117-08:002015-11-25T09:42:11.117-08:00That's crazy!
