Natives that Germinate Easily
No need for a cold pretreatment/stratification period prior to planting these natives. They are ready to plant right out of the packet and usually germinate within one to three weeks after sowing. If indoor sowing, a good rule of thumb is to sow your pots six to eight weeks prior to the last frost for your area.
