Seed Perennials Now for Next Spring

I start a second batch of perennials seeds from mid August, taking advantage of our long fall season to get a good start for next year. Some perennials like aquilegia, geum, salvia nemorosa and dianthus are actually reluctant to go dormant in cooler temperatures - giving us valuable "bulking" time. Others actually require cool temperatures (vernalization) for flower initiation. A wide variety of hardy perennials are adaptable to this approach - but it helps if you're prepared with some additional protected (indoor, greenhouse, etc) space in case there's a quick cold snap or two before they're ready.
