Winter Sowing - Temperate Climate

Winter sowing in temperate climates – open‑pollinated seeds for cold‑tolerant, cold‑germinating wild plants and perennial herbs that germinate reliably and develop strongly in temperate conditions. Ideal for climate zones with frosty nights, fluctuating winter temperatures and natural winter moisture. Includes robust species that lose their germination dormancy mainly through frost‑and‑thaw impulses and start vigorous growth in late winter or early spring. Sowing is best done in late autumn but can also be carried out in winter, ensuring that the seeds are among the first to germinate in spring.
