Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Persicaria virginiana seeds do not require any special preparation. However, soaking them in water for a few hours before sowing can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds indoors in early spring or directly outdoors in early fall.

For indoor sowing, use seed trays filled with moist seed starting mix. Press the seeds lightly into the soil surface.

For outdoor sowing, choose a shaded or partially shaded location with moist, well-drained soil. Scatter the seeds evenly over the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically takes 14-21 days.

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, thin them to 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth.

Transplanting:

If started indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date or in early fall.

Choose a location with part shade to full shade and moist, well-drained soil.

Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of the seedling and gently place it into the hole. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist.

Apply a layer of mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

Trim back any dead or damaged foliage as needed to maintain a tidy appearance.

Happy Gardening!
