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 inch deep soil, and firm. It is best propagated by division in adults plants.
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 2 to 4 feet apart. Very vigorous.
