When to Grow

This is a spring-planted mix, and the seed does best if you stratify it in the fridge for about a week before sowing. Sow on the surface and look for seedlings in 21 to 28 days. Space the young plants 8 to 10 inches apart in full sun — in the ground, in a gravel garden, or in containers — where 65 to 70°F is the ideal growing range, and count on about 80 to 90 days to maturity. The whole mix is perennial and frost hardy in zones 3 through 8.
