Suggested seed treatment:   You should provide 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 in 1/4 inches of soil, and firm. Add some sand to the soil mix to avoid crown rot.

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. Transplant when the third and fourth true leaves appear. The seedlings grow slowly the first year.

Companion prairie plants:    Purple prairie clover, Brown eyed Susan, Spiderwort, Little bluestem, Side oats.

Comments:   Good for rock gardens and home landscapers, Effective in cut flower arrangement but short lived.
