I haven’t had the plants long enough to judge the mature plant, but the seed germination rate was high – I just sprouted them over the spring in the window using those seed trays with a clear cover. I’ll be transplanting them outside soon. I also debated on cold-stratifying the seeds first (like most of WA state native plants), and DIDN’t, and they still sprouted!
