We recommend sowing perennial seeds 
in spring. Seed germinates better in the 
cool weather than in the heat of midsum¬ 
mer. The majority of these perennials 
bloom the second year from seed although 
some like Coreopsis and Gaillardia, if sown 
early, bloom the first year. Plants can be 
raised in beds and transplanted or the seed 
may be planted directly in your perennial 
garden.
