What to Know Before You Grow – Important!

Late fall and winter are ideal times of year to sow many of our native seeds, with a few exceptions. To ensure your success, please read through these resources before sowing seeds:

Get started with Autumn and Winter Seed Sowing in Six Easy Steps.
Beginners: start with asters, milkweeds, coneflowers, beebalms, beardtongues, lobelias, and wild strawberries, or any plants with germination codes A or B.
For more detailed propagation information refer to How to Grow Natives From Seed.
