I'm in zone 7A NJ so I'll just share which varieties did well for me and what did not, as I wonder if it's related to climate. Columbine-fail Statice-success Larkspur, snapdragon, and poppy-worked great with direct seed fall sowing Strawflower-success Foxglove-success Butterfly weed-success Lavender-success Delphinium-fail Mimulus-success Celosia-success Amaranth-success Marigolds-success Penstemon-fail Yarrow-success Sunflower-success I plan on doing all the failures again, just a little bit later (in mid February) and a few new varieties. Winter sowing vegetables was basically a fail too. Although I got some growth, it never matched those that were directly seeded.

Ive been all over youtube trying to get a list of winter sowing flowers and thank goodness, i found you! 😍 This is my first year doing this and I'm excited. It gets so confusing as to what goes outside in the jugs, and what goes under my grow lights. I had no idea we could winter sow Zinnias. I usually start those indoors.

The only reason I up potted is because I wanted to share with neighbors and I was also having landscaping work which would not allow me to plant into the garden for several months. That shouldn’t be an issue this year and it will be planted from the jug directly into the garden.

I’m adding 2 weeks to my frost date and counting back from there to start indoor tomatoes and peppers because every year I have a jungle and up-potting. Normally I would start seeds late March and moving to April this year. I will pre-germinate pepper seeds as they do take a bit, especially hot peppers. This should save money, space and time.

I think this will work for annuals, but I’m using a disposable bowl inside as I think the roots may be disturbed too much without structure. She used this method for lettuce she planted out right away. I don’t think it would work so well to allow the plants to touch the bag especially if it freezes, but it’s worth a go. It’s available and reasonable and not so much work.

I'm not sure what it is like for those in warmer climates for winter sowing. However, if you sowed seeds that require cold stratification (a period of cold temperatures) for a certain amount of time (for example milkweed and columbine need 30 days of cold temperatures) those may not germinate. If you don't get cold temperatures you may need to first put them in the refridgerator for a few weeks to mimic outdoor cold weather. Hope that helps. Happy sowing and hope you have sucess. 😊

Which of the flowers you showed are perennials? I have two more raised beds left to build and one will be just for perennials. Thyme, German Chamomile, Pepperemint,, Sage, a white Tomato, Spinach, Marygold (Annual), Mesclun, and Larkspur I had good luck with.

Beautiful foxglove! Hope mine are successful this year. Canterbury bells are biannual also-beautiful and welcome newcomers. Ugh! Fencing! Yes, definitely and it’s too bad I have to look at everything through fencing and forced to plant inside those perimeters. It’s Very disheartening to go out and see your plants desecrated when it was just about to bloom. I still don’t know what color of day lily my SIL gave me. A rabbit created a den under one and the deer ate the buds. It’s a battle. I’m trying agastache and pestomen this year. Most of the seeds were SO tiny and not many of them in a pkt. and needed to be just pressed into soil. I’m skeptical if they will make it. There is a few $$ worth, but I figure if I get most to produce or even some I’m still saving. Most plants I see cost $14!! Ouch! I’ve grown petunias once before with success inside and decided to add to the tough-to-grow inside with geraniums, Non Stop Begonias and hibiscus. The begonias are Super Tiny seeds thought I’d need new glasses and now that some are up I still had to take a magnifying glass to see them😂. Sure hope they make it though as I find them to be as fun as moss roses, you just never know what you’ll get-like being at a candy store😂😂. And I so forgot how I miss carnations and will try those inside as well. So this is why things are about to get crowded because I haven’t even started peppers and tomatoes yet, only onions and new to me artichokes that are looking 👀 a bit scary in size😮. Z5a, WI. Lol! Just realized this was 22 video, oh well😂

I know your pain. It was not as enjoyable to have to look at my flower through fencing but it is the only way when you have so much deer and rabbit pressure. The agastache I grew (a white variety as well as a lavender variety) did beautifully and are still in my garden. I think this is the third year. It is is the mint family. While the rabbits and deer will not touch it I do deahead it so that it won't overseed in the garden and take over. Happy gardening - even it if it through fencing 😉.

Hello. The brownie method is a method of transplanting your winter sown seedlings. Once they are grown and ready to go in the garden, you remove the whole container as one clump. Then you slice through the soil lengthwise and across, as if you were cutting up a pan of brownies. Plant each of the "brownie" the clusters into the garden. I have a video on how I transplanted the young seedlings using the brownie method here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5NymdV63s-5cY0.html Hope that helps.

The lavender this year was slow to germinate but eventually it did and I got 5 plants from it (left the container open through July!). The first year they are very small but they take off the following year. The first lavender I winter sowed is huge now. I have wet springs and humid summers. I do think they are short lived perennials and need to be replaced every few years. Thanks for stopping by 😊. Happy gardening

Hi, thanks for detailed information. I leave in zone 8b and I’m planning to winter sow Hollyhocks. Just wanted to check that is it ok to do so? Thanks in advance 🙂

I don’t know how winter sowing would work for those in warmer zones such as yours but I’m sure it is worth a try. Keep in mind that you may not get enough of a cold period to germinate the seeds. Also Hollyhocks are biennial, meaning that they take two years to complete their life cycle, so you won’t see any hollyhock flowers the first year you plant hollyhocks. If you direct sow in the fall the seedlings can winter over and you would get flowers the following spring. Hope that helps.

You could direct sow as they are easy to grow. Monica’s right they are biannual. I had healthy green small shrubs last year and will need to thin early. Can’t wait to see them this year. I direct sowed, Z5a, WI.

Basically any perennial for your growing zone or hardy annuals are good candidates for winter sowing. I have a follow up video that provides a list of more flower seeds that would be good candidates for winter sowing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eKd3pqqlu7nbcps.html

Will you be able to list the seeds here in the description and let us know your frost date? I am in Canada and new to winter sowing. I am hopeful since you mentioned calendula and strawflower that I can too.
@MonicaKatie
@MonicaKatie 2 жыл бұрын
My last spring frost is April 28. I think strawflower and calendula should be successful for you. They are pretty frost tolerant. The flowers I am winter sowing are: Columbine Black Barlow, Nora, and Ruby Port. Statice QIS Apricot and Seeker Pastel Blue. Scabiosa Black Knight. Larkspur QIS Dark Blue. Straflower Silvery Rose and Apricot Peach Mix. Feverfew Magic Lime Green. Dara. Redbeckia Brown Eyed Susan and Sahara. Lavender. Snapdragons First Lady. Foxglove Dalmation Peach and Apricot Beauty. Calendula Ivory Princes and Cantelope Mix. Yarrow Favorite Berries. Rose Campion. Sweet Alyssum Royal Carpet.

@monicakatiesgarden thank you for the list, I was going to try rudbeckia, feverfew, and the two you mentioned. I sowed this week I am at least two weeks behind, my frost date is may 4 but I going to tack on a week to be safe so any three weeks behind. Can’t wait to see the progress. Thank you for taking the time to list everything very much appreciated. Oh and pincushion, I bought the fama and noticed it is a perennial.

What is the height of your lavender? Did they bloom the first year?

@MonicaKatie Жыл бұрын
The ones I winter sowed in 2022 are still very small and have not flowered. An English lavender that I winter sowed back in 2020 bloomed in 2021 and 2022 and it was about 2 feet high when in bloom. Hope that helps. ☺

They need cold treatment when you grow them indoors. When winter sowing they are outside in the freezing weather so Mother Nature takes care of that 😉
