If wildflower seeds requiring stratification are scattered in the spring, will they still come up the following spring? I had some mixes I didn't get in last fall due to irrigation problems. I went ahead and scattered them this spring, but I'm sure there are varieties that require stratification. Will those come up next year or will going through a spring\summer "ruin" the seeds somehow?

Thanks in advance.

I think it is a guess but you did the best you could, and you never know what nature is going to do, sometimes it surprises you. Keep hoping! Smiling

Good news! I found the answer buried in a document on establishing wildflower meadows on prairie moon's site. They will still come up! In fact, some species won't come up for up to 5 years!

Battling weeds right now. It's a warzone out there, but I'm determined.
