Located in Minnesota. Can I just plop a seed per pot and leave it out over winter? Anything special I need to do? I want to be able to place the plants in a semi-organized fashion in spring which is why I'm not planting directly in the dirt now.

Seeds I have:
– White swamp
– Pink swamp
– Showy
– Common pink
– Butterfly orange

I already placed all these seed packs in moist Ziploc bags in the fridge. Thinking of just buying another batch to do a side-by-side comparison of germination.

    it’s fine. like all bagged soil it comes super compressed and dry, so you’ll wanna fluff it. Push it through hardware cloth to break it up more

    Mimics nature the best so should do perfectly well

    Ok huge game changing tip. Use SEED STARTER mix for starting seeds. Your #1 enemy is mold, and Seed starter mix has no nutrients, so mold can’t grow. “But what about the seeds, they need food” you’re thinking, no! Seeds have the first few weeks of food inside them! After a few weeks 2-3 of growing, THEN use potting mix.
