I wanted to try something different. These Eucalyptus citriodora can be grown as an annual. The trees in Australia are beautiful and truly massive, but the goal here is an annual, sort of similar to a mint or lemon balm, that will tolerate what has been a trend to hotter and drier summers. If they grow, I'll try growing them in containers. Of there are extras, I can see if they survive a border accesible to deer. I bet the deer don't bother them.
I surface planted the seeds in a six pack on moistened peat and perlite seed starting medium. I dusted them with a bit more medium, then spritzed with water.
Again with avoiding unnecessary plastic, I covered with a glass baking dish lid.
I read they require warmth and light, so they are sharing an LED desk lamp with the Schlumbergera seedlings.
From the previous post, these are the seeds.
