Slow Germinating Perennial Seeds 
The slower germinating varieties such 
as Aconitum, Dicentra, Dictamnus and 
Trollius and most Alpine seeds are gen¬ 
erally recommended for fall or winter 
sowing as the freezing and thawing of 
winter facilitates germination. The 
fresh crop seed is not always available 
early enough for fall sowing before 
the ground freezes. Such seed may 
be sown during the winter in flats 
to be set our into frames where they 
are given a light protection of straw. 
Or, in case you have mulched the soil 
in a frame to prevent it from freezing, 
the seed may be sown directly in that. 
Asclepias—Butterfly Weed

plant, during July and August bearing
