I have had success with growing quite a few perennials from seeds, but Lady's Mantle is defeating me! I tried and failed last year. I am trying again this year, but getting no plants at all. Not even one! I sprinkled those TINY seeds over potting mix and used a plastic fork to scratch the surface to lightly cover the seeds. The pot has been kept moist all the time since the seeds were planted 3 weeks ago. So far, I have seen no signs of germination -- did get a few small mushrooms though :-) Any advice? Thanks!
