Late-Season Native Wildflower from Seed

Germination Notes

Cold-moist stratification for about 60 days is commonly recommended to improve germination consistency. Fall or winter sowing outdoors can provide natural cold exposure. Seeds may include natural fluff and chaff.

Seeds will not germinate without stratification.
