SOW PERENNIAL SEEDS IN THE SPRING 
By starting your favorite perennials from seed 
you can get lots of plants at very low cost, but of 
course, you have to wait a bit for them to bloom. 
The method is not much more complicated than the 
growing of annuals from seed. Our belief is that 
you will have the best results if you plant the seed 
in the open in spring, late April or May. Most 
perennials germinate better when its cool and 
moisture is much less a problem in spring than later. 
Make up a good fine seed bed that contains 
plenty of humus (sand helps a lot if your natural soil 
is heavy). Just have it in such physical condition 
that it will not crust over the seed. Sow the seed 
in rows or in small blocks, if you are starting several 
kinds, and spread the seed as evenly as possible, 
not over-crowding so that the plants can be left to 
grow to fair size before transplanting. Seeds started 
in that way will produce good strong plants to set 
into their permanent places in the late summer or 
early fall. In the case of only a few plants, when 
you can nurse them along, the transplanting may be 
done most any time during the summer. 
Peat Moss and Vermiculite are big helps in preparing Seed Beds.
