• Some American Native Wildflower seeds need to go through a cold winter to germinate. This plant is one of them. They do this so the seed won’t sprout in fall, only to have the seedling not make it through a cold winter. I keep these seeds at 40F to simulate a cold winter(stratification) This raises the germination rate considerably. Thanks for looking!!.
