Thank you, Carlos! I was looking forward to sowing this species very much, so it will be hard to wait till late summer - autumn here will likely be too cold. Poeticus in my experience needs some moisture throughout. Our „soil“, yellow clay from 2cm depth and below, retains moisture very well, but the last two dry summers killed all N. poeticus in the garden. Admittedly, they never thrived, though.
