We got only 1 Douglas aster plant out of a commercial seed pack last year that we refrigerated on damp paper towels for a couple of months.
This time, I harvested seeds from existing plants, saved them in paper bags in the fridge, sowed them in Oct, & left them outside. Success! 🌱🐝 PNW

Pacific Northwest gardeners, this plant popped up in our pollinator garden and is blooming right now, the end of January.
Plant ID app as Bellis perennis, common daisy. We try to use native plants, but will include non invasive bee friendly plants.
Should we keep it?🐝🌱
