Most flowers included have 2nd Year Maturity. The Fall Planting Perennial assortment features 5 classic flower seeds for easy fall sowing. Fall planting is not just for bulbs! Plant these seeds in the fall to take advantage of the natural cool season to stratify these seeds. Stratification is the process of signaling the germination of seeds in the spring after a cold winter. This is the natural cycle seeds of native plants, many perennials, and wildflowers follow for strong plants all season long.

How to Grow the Fall Planting Perennials - 5 Classic Flowers

To plant this mix, simply broadcast your seeds over your prepared planting area. It is best to clear your growing area of any weeds before planting. Digging is not required, though slightly scratching the surface with a rake may help your seeds stay in place better over the winter season. Check on your seeds in the spring. While these flowers are drought tolerant once established, they may need additional water in the first year and in excessive heat for extended periods of time.

If starting in 4-inch pots, plant your seeds and place your flat of pots in a protected area. Here in the Salt Lake Area (Zone 7), we have had great success storing the prepared flats under a deck, or other protected location, on the North side of a home. This prevents the wind, snow, or extreme fluctuations in temperature from damaging the pots before you are ready to check on them. About the time you are turning your sprinklers on for the season, you can set your flat out for some water until you are ready to plant. At this stage, be sure to check on your starts to make sure they are getting enough water. Plant when the ground is workable.

Why You Should Plant Flowers in the Fall

Native plants, wildflowers, and many perennials use cold stratification as a signal for germination in the spring. Stratification is the process of temperature and moisture changes triggering the natural germination process. When you plant these types of seeds in the fall, they are able to germinate at the same time they would in a wild setting. This can encourage healthy and strong plants for you throughout the growing season. If planting in the spring, follow a home stratification process outlined in the article located under “Growing Resources” below.

This mix provides an assortment of blooms from late spring through fall. As perennials, you can expect these gorgeous blooms year after year with very little maintenance needed. Each flower is drought resistant once established, allowing these flowers to be grown in many parts of North America. While you will see some blooms in the first year, the real show starts in its second year as these plants reach maturity. Create your own oasis filled with shades of blue, purple, yellow, and red.
