It is fascinating to grow your own perennials 
from seed. We recommend sowing perennial 
seeds in spring. Seed germinates better in the 
cool weather than in the heat of midsummer, 
.and the long growing season produces larger 
plants that winter over more successfully. 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 trans- 
planted, or the seed may be planted directly in 
your perennial garden. The great charm of 
perennials lies in their permanence; once estab- 
lished they are a constant source of pleasure.
