AUTUMN SOW - SPRING BLOOMS
Sowing flower seeds in the autumn provides a cold stratification period, which allows the seeds to establish strong roots during the cool months, leading to an earlier and more robust display of blooms in spring. Some excellent choices for fall sowing to enjoy an early colorful spring garden include Calendula, Echinacea, Milkweed, Wild Bergamot, Vervain, Anise Hysop, Larkspur, and Sweet Pea. These flowers will reward your efforts in spring with beautiful blooms!
