New to wintersewing

I am new to this forum, athough not new to Gardenweb.

I have wintersewed one container a few years ago with success. This year I have new gardens to fill and need the perennials so I am wintersewing a lot of seeds. I have 19 containers so far, mostly milk jugs with some lx large and tall juice jugs. I never thought about soda bottles until today. I could have used those too, but didn't need them. I have lots of milk jugs. That's how all the stores sell milk here.

Here's the list of what I planted so far:

1 Euphorbia and bee balm monarda
2 Husker red penstamon and lupin
3 Berginia
4 Wintergreen
5 Hardy hibiscus and honeysuckle
6 Pink alpine grass
7 Fancy feathers poppy
8 Peony poppies
9 Indian paintbrush and pink grass
10 Viola Johnny jump ups
11 Primula elatior
12 Primula auriculas
13 Primula veris & primula polyneura
14 Winky pink columbines
15 Hardy hibiscus � pink � � mix
16 Dodecatheon meadia, D. dentatum
17 Primula auriculas
18 Liatris - Gaillardia
19 Red mondarda bee balm

I keep this list on my computer and just put the number with marker on the jug. I don't know if I will plant anything else yet. I'm still trading for seed :-)

It starts to warm up a bit here in late Feb, so I'm hoping these will get enough winter to germinate.

I planted armeria (sea thrift) in a jug to wintersew but still have it indoors. Does anyone know if it will germinate if wintersewn?
