The Garden Bug: Seeds in snow

By Brenda Weaver

Many perennial wildflower seeds need a period of exposure to cold and moisture. If you get snow by December, you can begin to scatter these seeds atop blankets of snow up until February. The seeds will gradually work their way through the snow as the temperatures rise and fall and the ground thaws and freezes. If needed, cover the seeds lightly with clean straw to keep them moist, to hide them from birds and to keep them from blowing away in the wind.
