seed by species
These seed packages are an easy way to intoduce wildflowers
and prairie grasses to your landscape, whether it be at home or at the
cottage. Seed is slower than plugs and pots to produce flowers but seeding
is much easier and more economical.
For direct seeding outdoors simply spread the seed in October
or November or in spring. Seed can be spread in very
sparse grass or on bare soil. For varieties that require stratifying (as
indicated below), late fall or early spring is the best
time for seeding.
For starting seed indoors, the directions for each species
are listed below. Germinate all species at 21 degrees unless otherwise
noted.
Please phone or email before seed pickup for the 100g or
more size.
