My rose campion self-seeds. I help it along by scattering the seeds where I want them at the end of summer. They sprout next spring. I don't have an answer for cardinal flower, though. I would start them indoors in winter under lights or maybe winter sow them outdoors. The winter sowing forum has the best info on that.

My Rose Campion didn't bloom until the second full summer, so, I don't think you can expect blossoms next summer. Sorry to give bad news. I wish I could donate my plants to you. I don't think I want them to reseed everywhere, so I'm thinking of getting rid of them. I don't know if it's legal to ship plants internationally.
