Suggested seed treatment: No further pre-planting seed treatment is necessary. You would get some increase in germination from 30 days of cold moist stratification. Many prairie wildflower seeds benefit by moist cold stratification, some require it to germinate. Seed that you purchase from Oak Prairie Farm has not received cold moist stratification.
Direct planting tips: Plant seed in desired location, when soil reaches 70 degrees,1/4 inch deep, and firm.
Transplants: If you grow transplants from our seed: transplant while dormant in spring or fall, trim long roots, plant with buds just below the soil surface, space 1 to 2 feet apart. Very vigorous.
Companion prairie plants: New England aster, Wild bergamot, Purple coneflower, Big bluestem, Indian grass.
Comments: Very vigorous. Long lasting as cut flowers.
