thanks for your replies so far. I have had success growing a lot of perennials from seed this year already in my kitchen by simply using a terrarium. I can do the refrigerator technique to fake out the freeze thaw cycle if necessary.
the plants I am thinking of growing from seed are:
- coreopsis
- smooth aster
- butterfly weed
- meadow blazing star
- blue false indigo
- purple prairie flower
- Joe Pye weed
- compass plant
- blue vervain
- phlox Jeana
I'm pretty confident I can get any of these to germinate (maybe i'm over-confident) in my kitchen and grow them in pots on my porch for the next few months. my real question is whether or not that is a good idea.
