I purchased these in 2014, started them in January of 2015. These seeds need light to germinate, they also need heat, and they will not bloom until the 2nd year. This is how I did it. I used a starting kit that had 72 cells, filled with potting mix, pushed down on the potting mix in each cell so that the soil is firm. I then used a very fine mist to mist the top of the soil so the seeds would stick. I sprinkled about 10 seeds per cell, then very lightly pressed the seed into the soil so it had good contact. I used the propagator cover, set it in a sunny warm window and they started germinating in about three weeks or so. They will look like grass when they start coming up. I fed them with a very weak house plant fertilizer at about the 3rd week after they germinated (two-three leaves). My germination rate was about 60 percent, thus the reason I put 10 seeds in each pot. I moved them outside in a morning sun, sheltered from the hot afternoon sun until July. They were big enough to plant out in the garden in July, and you need to keep them watered, and fed they will start to mound up and the next year, they will send the flower spikes, and bloom. They will also set seed and spread but you'll need to watch for the new plants because they will look like blades of grass when they first come up. They bloomed in 2016, and 2017, and I have new plants coming up now in 2018 January. Hope this helps
