Growing Perennials From Seed
Growing perennials from seed is an inexpensive way to get more plants for your garden.
What better satisfaction for any gardener than to look out on his garden and know that the plants were planted right from seed! Of course, you will have to be aware that not all seeds will produce a plant that is colored exactly like the one it came from. In some cases, if you want to reproduce the plant exactly, you must take a cutting and grow from there.
Planting
When growing perennials from seed, the general rule of thumb is that plants that flower in the spring are planted in early fall, and those that flower in the fall are planted in the spring. When planting in the fall, make sure you give the seeds plenty of time to establish a root system before the first frost hits.
You can plant the seeds right into the flower bed. Prepare the soil by loosening it and digging little furrows then filling that with vermiculite. Scatter the seeds over the furrows and press then into the soil lightly. Keep the seeds barely covered to keep them from drying out and from birds eating them. Water, water, water and then water some more. Make sure to remove any weeds that spring up so that they can't compete with your perennials.
