| The seeds are extremely tiny. They can be sowed now. They take a while to get up to some size. I left them in the containers until Hurricane Irene none of them made it. But the Heuchura did. They need room, sow them sparingly in jugs. |

| It self-sows for me in Zone 8a so I think it would do very well wintersowed. |

| It self sows wildly for me, but I find it does better Fall sown than winter sown, with a warm moist period first. 8b |

| I have ws alchemilla with great success. There is limited self sowing of this plant in my flower beds. |

| Lady's Mantle is a great WSown plant. I just love it under and around my rose bushes. 2 years ago I planted a bunch out "HOS" and last summer was able to divide those teenagers into groupings around the yard. I let the flower heads dry on the plant, cut the whole thing off and dry some more, then just crumble the whole thing into a plate and package up a mix of seed/chafe to sow. Finding that tiny seed is just impossible, and I've had great germination with this "Dried flower head crumble" way. |
