Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

• Some prairie flower seeds benefit from cold stratification.

• To stratify, place seeds in a moist, cold environment (such as a refrigerator) for 30-60 days before planting.

Sowing

• Direct sow seeds in the garden in the spring after the danger of frost has passed, or in late fall for natural stratification over winter.

• Prepare the soil by removing weeds and loosening the top layer.

• Scatter seeds evenly over the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil. Do not bury seeds too deep; they need light to germinate.

Germination

• Seeds typically germinate within 10-20 days under optimal conditions.

• Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period, avoiding waterlogging the soil.

Transplanting

• If starting seeds indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance.

• Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, ensuring they are gradually acclimated to outdoor conditions (hardened off).

• Space seedlings according to the mature size of the plants, generally 12-18 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance

• Watering: Water regularly until plants are established. Once established, prairie flowers are generally drought-tolerant and require minimal watering.

• Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the base of the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

• Maintenance:

  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding if desired.

  • Cut back plants in late fall or early spring to tidy up the garden and make way for new growth.
