A friend was a market-gardener and when he was starting out, an older gardener challenged him to intentionally germinate thistle seed, just one of the usual "garden weed" species.
C. a. is native to a huge area of Europe from low to high altitudes, so at least some seed will take very low temperatures.
I strongly suspect that your C. a. are a sow (outdoors) and forget seed, just make sure the pot(s) are protected from mice, inquisitive birds and the like. If they behave like "weedy" species, they will germinate over years, not just one.
