Hardy perennials are easily raised from seeds; they may be sown either in 

 spring or during the early summer. The simplest method is to sow them in a 

 frame, protecting the seedlings as they appear above ground from the sun. The 

 soil should be kept evenly moist but not saturated. Transplant the seedlings 

 once or twice if necessary to prevent crowding.
