I WS lots of new perennials last year either from seeds I harvested from my own plants or from traded seeds. It was my first attempt at winter sowing and am happy to report many of them have come through the winter with flying colors. Here's what's sent up new growth so far:

Agastache rupestris/sunset hyssop

Alchemilla mollis/lady's mantle

Aquilegia/columbine

Baptisia australis/false indigo

Echinacea/coneflower

Iberis/candytuft

Nipponanthemum nipponicum/Montauk daisy

Tanacetum pyrethrum/painted daisy

Lupine

Trollius ledebourii/globeflower

Monarda didyma/bee balm

Rudbeckia hirta/gloriosa daisy

Euphorbia polychroma/cushion spurge

I want to say thanks to trudi and all the folks on this forum for their words of encouragement, support & advice as well as their shared joy in my winter sowing successes. At this rate, the day may actually come when I post pictures of my flowerbeds rather than/in addition to individual blooms.

A few of last year's favorites (not ALL WS):
