About this episode
Interested in growing larkspur, bachelor buttons, or bells of Ireland? Did you know that some of spring’s most coveted flowers – including these beauties – actually prefer to be sown directly outdoors rather than started indoors as transplants? Join Lisa and Layne as they cover some of the most frequently asked questions about sowing seeds directly in the garden. They discuss some of the advantages and challenges when direct seeding, tips and tricks for sowing this group of plants in fall and very early spring, succession-planting bupleurum, and more. Listen to the podcast and prepare to sow some of your Cool Flower seeds directly into the garden! The video version of Lisa and Layne’s conversation featuring a slideshow of the questions discussed will be posted to The Gardener’s Workshop’s YouTube channel, where all "Seed Talk" episodes are organized into a playlist .
