Purple Loosestrife Flower Seeds for Planting – Heirloom & Non-GMO Hardy Perennial for Wetlands and Pollinator Gardens

Planting and Growing Instructions:

1. When to Plant:

• Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost or direct sow in late fall or early spring.

2. Starting Indoors:

• Surface-sow seeds (do not cover) on moist seed-starting mix.

• Maintain temperature at 65–75°F (18–24°C).

• Keep soil moist until germination, which occurs in 14–20 days.

• Provide indirect light or grow lights.

3. Transplanting Outdoors:

• Harden off seedlings before transplanting.

• Space plants 12–18 inches apart in moist to wet soil.

• Ideal for pond edges, low areas, or marshy spots.

4. Outdoor Sowing:

• For fall sowing, scatter seeds and lightly press into soil.

• Water gently and allow nature to stratify seeds over winter.

5. Care Tips:

• Thrives in wet, nutrient-rich soil.

• Can tolerate drought once established but prefers moisture.

• Cut back after flowering to prevent aggressive self-seeding in non-native areas.
