WHEN TO PLANT?
Plant anytime indoors, then transplant to a more permanent location in the early spring. Fall plantings will utilize winter rains to give you early spring blooms for some seed types.
If not planting immediately, store paper in a cool, dry place to preserve the germination rates. Hot and humid storage will decrease germination. Properly stored seed paper may still grow up to 6 years old, but germination rates start to decline after 3 or 4 years. We hope you'll just plant it now and feed the bees. :)
WHERE CAN I PLANT?
These seeds are able to be shipped in both US and Canada. Other countries may require additional certifications. Therefore, we currently are only selling our jewelry with these wildflower seed thank you notes in the United States.
WHY?
We want to spread beauty and positivity in the world. We care about the Bees and we hope you'll help us plant some flowers for them. :)
HOW TO GROW IT?
-
- Soak paper overnight.
- Loosen the soil, or fill a planter pot ¾ of the way with potting soil.
- Place the wet seed paper in the planter and add a thin dusting of soil. (about 1/8 of an inch)
- Keep it moist during germination & ensure there good drainage. Don’t let the water pool.
- Once the sprouts are well established they can easily be transplanted to a more permanent outdoor location.
- Give it plenty of sunlight.
- Soak paper overnight.
