I planted a couple dozen U. alpina seeds in a chopped LFSM and Perlite mix a few weeks ago and I'm now seeing some sprouts. There are just five seedlings but it's a start.
I read that growing alpina from seed is a slow process. Are there any others here who have tried growing U. alpina from seeds?

I tried them but no luck getting them to sprout. So congrats! To you!

I tried to find pics of alpina seedlings, but no luck. So for all I know, these guys could just be weeds or grasses that were in the LFSM. Time will tell.

Yeah, my thoughts, too. All five are the same in appearance. I understand that it can take a month or more to germinate alpina seeds; patience is required.

What media/conditions are you using? I have my pot in an enclosed seedling tray with high humidity, temp is a constant 70 °F.

Looks like we have the same conditions.

As suspected, these are most likely some wild grasses that were mixed in the LFSM. I'll yank them and wait to see if the U. alpina seeds sprout.

Did you ever have any luck with these? I’m eyeing the seeds in the bank, but…

I've been hunting around for more info on alpina sprouts. I found an older thread on Terraforums (iirc) that describes the seedlings as looking like grass leaves. Fortunately, I saved the grass-like sprouts in a catch-all pot and I've replanted them in the alpina pot.
There are a couple of things that popped up in the alpina pot that may be alpina sprouts. We'll see...

Yeah, the wider leaves in that pic are more like what I expected to see with alpina sprouts. I'm sure the grasses are just weeds, but they look nice.
