Tigrinus + St John's Worth

[Faughan]

It's very cold here and has been snowing on and off for the past weeks, so I'm trying to sort out my seeds by month, etc.

I bought a packet of Tigrinus (Mimilus luteus L.) online and there is no instructions. On Google it says that it needs to be in a shaded and wet area in the garden. I'm not sure if my front garden is too wet, there's even moss in the lawn that I haven't been able to get rid off. I'm confused as to what to do, if anyone has grown these can you advise please?

Also, bought a packet of St. John's Wort seeds. Could both Tigrinus and St. John's Wort be started in pots indoors?

Thank you!

Mimulus is used as a marginal pond plant. Hope your lawn isn't that wet!

Thank you. I just Googled that and it seems is extremely invasive and if eaten by livestock, St John's wort causes photosensitisation of exposed skin (inflammation eg., of face, ears, lips), affects the nervous system of animals causing depression and hyperthermia (panting, salivation, respiratory distress) and alters heart, blood vessel and intestinal function. Not going to take any chances since I live in a rural area.

That's perfect then. I'm planning to build a small wildlife pond and was wondering that plants I could buy. Thank you!
