PERENNIAL AND BIENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 
Cultural Directions for Sowing Perennial and Biennial Flower Seeds 
Perennial seed may be sown outdoors from May until September. 
A good, finely sifted soil should be used, to which add some sand 
and granulated peat moss. It is absolutely necessary that a shaded 
location be selected, or if sown in a coldframe, lath coverings or sash 
covered with burlap should be used. The soil must be kept moist at 
all times, therefore we deem it advisable to sow in this manner. If 
the soil should become dry for only a short period, the seed would 
be destroyed.

A common mistake in sowing flower seeds is covering too deeply; 
as a general rule cover only to a depth of the thickness of the seeds. 
Some seeds are of much slower germination than others, therefore 
it is wise not to be impatient. For instance, Hardy Primulas will 
often lie dormant in the ground for six months to a year; Columbines 
and other varieties of a like nature, two to three months. As soon 
as the plants are large enough to handle, they should be transplanted 
to the permanent location in the perennial border or nursery rows.
