     I started some of the winter flowering Bergenias off from seed about 3 years ago.  I followed the sowing instructions from the packet and found they were very slow at germinating and also very slow growing afterwards.  They were planted out into the garden around six months after sowing the seed and are only now beginning to fill out.
