Are you in the U.K.? Crowns are sold in the spring, so yes, this is the
wrong time. Unless, of course, you're on the bottom half of the planet.


We prepared a bed and just like the OP we were too late for Crowns so
thought, sow seeds. Carefully planted the seeds and waited, and waited, and
waited and nothing happened so the pots were emptied onto the garden. Seeds
had done nothing. "Wait till next Spring and get the Crowns"

What happened?

Seeds started to grow in the garden!

Transplanted to the prepared beds. Only one now survives. :-((

Crowns in the Spring now :-)
