Sowing: In late fall, plant Showy Milkweed seeds just beneath the surface. Seed Saving: After the flowering period, 3-4″ narrow pods will develop. Make sure to collect the pods before they burst and the silky fluff carries the seeds away in the wind.
Sowing: In late fall, plant butterfly milkweed seeds just beneath the surface. Once the seedlings pop up, thin them out to keep only the strongest one; they usually don’t handle being transplanted well because they dislike having their roots disturbed.
Sowing: In late fall, directly sow the seeds of the Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) at a depth of 1/4″ and gently compact the soil. Growing: Water the seedlings until they are well established.
Sowing: Plant directly in late fall by pressing the seeds into the soil surface, as this plant requires light for germination. Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, small pods will develop that will eventually open and release seeds.
Sowing: Get your soil ready about 3 weeks before the last expected frost in spring or when it hits 45 degrees F. Scarlet Nantes is one of the top choices for juicing. They also provide vitamin C and potassium, contributing to overall health and wellness.
