Title: Need tips for planting wildflower seeds in pots in Edinburg, TX.
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:
Can you give me some tips for starting wildflower seeds in pots or trays, rather than outdoors? Is this even possible? Most instructions I have found are for seeding large areas. I want to get some plants started before I put them into my garden, but I am confused about the best time of year and "stratification" procedures.ANSWER:
Of course its possible. Have you ever wondered where all of those potted plants that you see at the nurseries come from?
I have three sources of information that should help you get started.
"Propagating Plants from Seed" from Washington State University
the answer from a previous question about moist stratification
"Plant Propagation from Seed" from Virginia Cooperative Extension
