Fifty Shades of Aquilegias

I've sown my Aquilegia McKenna Giant & Crown Jewels mixed. They've been labelled (see SC, I do know what theyre for   ) bunged them in an out of the way corner ready to be forgotten.

How did germination go?

I put my packet of Mckana's Giant in the fridge for 5 days then sowed on the surface of coir. Put a lid on top them left them in the hall for a few weeks. They've popped up quite well so now on a sunny windowsill in the kitchen.

Carp!


They got, neglected,  dried out and knocked over. I intend to try again.
