Sowing Depth: Sow shallowly, from surface sowing to about one-quarter inch deep depending on seed size.

Spacing: Thin or transplant with roughly twelve to twenty-four inches between plants, adjusted for mature spread.

Germination: Germination often takes two to six weeks; some perennial seed benefits from cool, moist stratification.

Blooming Time: Some perennials bloom in the first season when started early, while others perform best from the second season onward.
