✅ Quick Overview

🌱 Step-by-Step Seeding Instructions

1. When to Sow

• Indoors: 6–8 weeks before last frost

• Outdoors: Spring or autumn (ideal for natural stratification)

  • Autumn sowing works well for natural cold stratification in temperate climates

2. Seed Preparation

• Sedum seeds are tiny—handle carefully

• No soaking or scarification needed

• Do not cover—needs light for germination

3. Indoor Sowing (Recommended for better control)

4. After Germination

• Keep soil just lightly moist—not wet

• Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant to small plugs or directly outdoors

• Harden off gradually if transplanting outside

5. Outdoor Direct Sowing (Optional)

• Choose a site with full sun and well-draining, gritty soil

• Surface sow and press seeds into soil

• Water lightly with a fine spray

• Best done in spring or fall
