Sowing 'Origami' Columbine Seeds in Alabama (Zone 7–8)

Columbine seeds benefit from cold stratification but germinate well without it in Alabama's cool spring nights (40s–50s°F). Press seeds onto soil surface (need light), don't cover. Current temps are fine for direct sowing in starter pots outdoors.
