EASY PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:   Sowing depth of 1/4 inch. Germination takes 10 days - 3 weeks.  You can also do as nature does, and scatter them for naturalizing (& then cover with about 1/4” soil). You will be really proud of your amazing flowers, which will then naturalize, multiply, & seed themselves.  You will have clumps of gorgeous flowers that YOU started from seed and nurtured. 

If you really want to start them indoors, you can start them about a 1-2 months before the last frost date.  Scatter seed on a quality seed starting mix & cover them lightly with some of the mix. Mist or moisten mix & put seed tray in a plastic bag to keep moist. Keep it in the DARK indoors at about 60-70°F for 10 days-2 weeks until they germinate. After they germinate put in a light place and they will grow into seedlings that can be moved outside after last frost date.
