All of our seeds are non-GMO and have been since our inception in 1856. For more information on our philosophy please see our Safe Seed Pledge.

GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. In agriculture, this label refers to crops whose DNA has been modified using genetic engineering methods in a laboratory. This modification is done most often to alter the traits of a plant or to introduce new traits that it would not have naturally. Ferry-Morse does not carry GMO seeds.

No. Hybrids are the result of cross-pollination between two different plant varieties to produce a hybrid offspring. The result is a hybrid that contains the traits of each of the parents. Cross-pollination is a natural process that occurs within members of the same plant species. As an Animal Kingdom example, when a Labrador breed mates with a Poodle the offspring is a cross-breed Labradoodle.

Ferry-Morse Seeds does not sell, nor have we ever sold any seed treated with neonicotinoids, or neonics for short. The impact of this class of chemical on pollinating insects such as honey bees and native bees is a cause of environmental concern. This is why Ferry-Morse Seeds has not and will not use neonicotinoid chemicals at any time.

100% certified organic seeds are harvested from plants grown without synthetic chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides. They harbor no residues from these chemicals. Organically grown seed produces hearty, robust plants already adapted to organic growing conditions.

An open-pollinated variety relies on natural pollination from wind and insects, and holds on to the parent’s characteristics generation after generation. This is important as it allows saved seed to produce identically if used again.

Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated seeds that have been saved from generation to generation. Usually varieties referred to as heirloom have been around for more than 50 years and offer a wonderful history in the names and flavors that continually provide dependable quality season after season. The seed from heirloom plants can be saved at the end of the season to be used again the next year.

Ferry-Morse seed packets contain all the information you need grow your plants, from sowing to harvesting. This is the information you'll find on your Ferry-Morse seed packets and how to use it right here.

• You don't attach them. The gro-dome sits "on" the tray to create humidity, while the Jiffy greenhouse dome sits securely "in" the tray.
• After planting your seeds, set the dome on top of the tray, ensure the dome is stable
• Note that the corners will not "snap" into place, and here's why: As seedlings emerge, you will need to shift and eventually remove the dome. If it snapped on too securely, removing it would jostle contents, possibly breaking the delicate stems of your seedlings and creating a watery, peat-pellet-y mess!
• The dome’s design allows for air circulation while trapping moisture inside.
• As seedlings emerge, gradually slide the dome over or prop it open to increase ventilation. Increasing ventilation helps prevent damping off disease and encourages healthy growth.

Crop rotation is one of the oldest and most effective strategies of controlling potential gardening problems. It is as simple as planning to plant a selected crop in the east end of the garden one year, and then the next season plant it in the west side of the garden. Plants that follow should be from a different family than the previous one. It is ideal for most crops to wait 3 years before planting in the original area. Moving crops to different areas of the garden each year provides many advantages such as maintaining soil fertility, reducing soil erosion, prevents diseases and pests, helps to control weeds and reduces reliance of synthetic chemicals.

Hardening off is the process of gradually transplanting a plant from a warm, comfortable indoor environment to the cool, windy outdoors. This process generally takes about 7-10 days. Place plants in the sun for an hour the first day, gradually increasing the exposure for about a week until plants can accept a full day of direct sunlight. After a couple of full days outside, the plants should be left out overnight, unless there is a danger of frost. Make sure the transplants are well watered during the process.

Deadheading is the process of extending the flowering period of a plant by removing dead flowers once they have finished blooming. Check your plants while watering to see what ‘maintenance’ is required – usually taking a few minutes before or after watering to remove faded flowers or seed pods can help keep plants looking beautiful!

A growing zone or a “Hardiness Zone” is a USDA system developed to aid gardeners with an understanding of when to plant fruits, flowers, vegetables, herbs and other plants based upon geographical location. To find your growing zone see the USDA map here.

Starting seeds indoors is a method of seed-germination that helps to develop seedlings indoors before transplanting to a larger pot or being transplanted into the garden.

• Using Jiffy peat pellets or a combination of peat pots and starting mix is the perfect start to a successful gardening experience.
• Be sure to follow packet directions for sowing depth and spacing, and don’t forget to label what you have planted.
• Cover your tray or flat of newly planted seeds with a plastic dome and remove once the seedling has fully emerged.
• Use Grow lights to help with germination and growth.
• Place your flat or tray somewhere warm (on a heat mat or on top of refrigerator) to warm the soil and promote germination.
• Be sure to remove from heat once seedlings start to emerge to keep roots safe.
• Keep your growing medium consistently moist – seedlings cannot tolerate dry conditions.

Determinate tomato varieties are most often "bush type" tomatoes. Determinate tomatoes will set all their fruit in a certain period of time and do not need to be pruned. They grow well in a cage and do not require staking. Determinate tomatoes are smaller and produce fruit early in season.

Indeterminate tomato varieties will require staking and will continue to grow and produce until your first frost date arrives. Indeterminate tomatoes will set their fruit along their growing stems, which should be kept off of the ground. Longer growing period than determinate.

SUPERthrive plant nutrients can be used on plants at every stage it's life. SUPERthrive is a high-quality vitamin solution that promotes root development and builds plant vigor. It is ideal for starting, transplanting, and maintenance of plants, houseplants, trees, and more. Simply mix the SUPERthrive product according to its packaging instructions and use accordingly.

Succession gardening is a method of planting a second or third crop where another crop has finished growing. With this method, you can always be using your garden space for more fresh produce. Once early maturing plants have finished, you can plant a second crop in their place (to get ahead, try starting plants in Jiffy peat pots).

After your second planting has been harvested you can usually plant a cool weather crop for late season enjoyment. To allow enough time for plants to mature, add the days to germination and maturity on the back of the seed packet and be sure to plant at least that many days before a likely first frost date for your region. Most greens (lettuce, kale, endive, spinach), radishes, bush beans, and peas can be planted mid summer and harvested in the fall for regions with a September/October first frost date.

Garden inoculant is a fine powder applied to seeds at time of planting. Inoculant is living bacteria that enables garden bean and pea plants to produce nitrogen fixing nodules along the roots which act to gather nitrogen (which is vital for plant growth) from the air and soil. This process results in better growth and production. In addition, the nitrogen gathered stays in the soil at the end of the season for the next season’s crops to profit from.

NOTE:Store it in a cool place. It is best to use inoculant in the year it was purchased. Excess inoculant can be worked into the soil.

Visit the seed starting collection to learn more.

Peat moss is a natural material harvested from wetlands known as bogs or peatlands. It originates from the partially decomposed remains of Sphagnum moss and other plants. Gardeners often use peat moss to improve soil quality and to provide a sterile medium for starting seeds.

Peat products offer several advantages for starting seeds:

Water retention:Peat moss can hold up to 20 times its weight in water, keeping seeds moist and helping them to germinate.
Soil aeration:Peat moss improves soil structure, allowing roots to access air and nutrients more effectively.
Sterile medium:Peat moss provides a clean environment for seed starting because it is free from weeds, pollutants, and pathogens.

Peat pellets are a convenient option for starting seeds. Here’s a quick guide:

• Hydrate the pellets: Place the pellets in a tray, add warm water, and let them expand for a few minutes.
• Plant the seeds: Make an indentation in each expanded pellet and plant seeds at the recommended depth.
• Maintain moisture: Check daily and keep the pellets moist but not waterlogged.
• Thin seedlings: Once seedlings have a few true leaves, thin them by snipping weaker ones.
•  Harden off seedlings: Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions over a week.
• Transplant: When ready, plant pellets directly into the garden or larger containers.

Peat pots and strips are great for starting seeds. Here’s how to use them effectively:

• Fill with seed-starting mix: Leave 1/4 inch from the top.
• Moisten the soil: Lightly dampen the mix before planting.
• Plant the seeds: Seed depth is generally on the packet; cover lightly.
• Water gently: Use a spray bottle to avoid disturbing seeds.
• Label the pots: Mark the type of seed and date planted.
• Provide light: Ensure 12-14 hours of light daily.
• Maintain moisture: Keep soil consistently moist, checking daily.
• Thin seedlings: Snip weaker seedlings at the soil line as needed.
• Harden off: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions over a week.
• Plant peat pots: Transplant directly into the garden; the pots will decompose.

Coco coir is a natural fiber derived from coconut husks. It is widely used in gardening as a soil amendment orgrowing mediumdue to its excellent water retention, aeration, and sustainability.

To prepare coco coir seed starting pellets, first pour 6 cups of lukewarm water into the bag containing the pellets. Let them sit for 3 to 4 minutes to absorb the water. Once they’ve soaked, gently mash the pellets to create a light, fluffy mixture, which will expand fully in just a few minutes. You can then use this mixture in your seed-starting pots and strips. The coco coir is excellent for fostering healthy root growth, creating a nurturing environment for your seeds.

Coco coir is a renewable resource that provides several benefits, including:

Sustainability:Coco coir is produced from coconut husks, making it environmentally friendly.

pH neutrality:Coco coir has a nearly neutral pH, which minimizes the need for pH adjustments in soil.

Improved water retention:Coco coir's ability to retain moisture ensures good drainage while promoting healthy root growth.

Coco coir and peat moss are both popular seed-starting mediums, but they differ in several ways:
Origin:Coco coir is made from coconut husks, while peat moss comes from decomposed organic materials in peat bogs.
pH levels:Coco coir has a neutral to slightly acidic pH (5.5-6.5), while peat moss is more acidic (3.5-4.5) and may need lime for certain plants.
Water retention and aeration:Coco coir offers excellent water retention and aeration, while peat moss retains water well but can compact over time.
Longevity:Coco coir lasts longer and can be reused; peat moss breaks down faster and is usually single-use.

Following these steps will help you achieve successful germination:

• Choose high-quality seeds: Use fresh seeds from a reputable source. (Like ours!)
• Use sterile seed-starting mix: Ensures good drainage and reduces disease risk.
• Moisten the soil: Lightly moisten the mix before planting.
• Plant at the right depth: Refer to the seed packet for depth.
• Maintain optimal temperature: Keep soil between 70-85°F (21-29°C).
• Provide adequate light: Use grow lights for 12-16 hours daily.
• Keep soil moist: Mist regularly to keep it evenly moist.
• Ensure air circulation: Use a small fan to prevent mold.
• Be patient: Germination can take days to weeks, depending on the seed.

The purpose of a heat mat is to provide consistent, gentle heat to the soil, which aids in seed germination and the growth of young plants. Heat mats create a warm environment that speeds up the germination process by keeping the soil at an optimal temperature, typically between 70-85°F (21-29°C). This can lead to quicker and more uniform sprouting, making it an essential tool for gardeners starting seeds indoors or in cooler conditions.

A mini greenhousekitcan be useful in the following situations:
Starting seedlings indoors:Provides a controlled environment for early seed planting.
Creating a microclimate:Offers favorable conditions for seedlings needing high humidity or warmth.

After seedlings sprout, move them to a sunny spot or use grow lights for 12-14 hours daily. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged, and use a sterile soil mix to prevent diseases. Thin overcrowded seedlings and start fertilizing once true leaves appear. Maintain temperatures between 70-80°F (21-26°C). Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors.

You should use a grow light when you're growing plants indoors and natural sunlight isn't sufficient. Here are some specific scenarios:

Starting seedlings indoors:Grow lights are essential for seed starting, especially during the shorter days of winter. They help seedlings grow strong and healthy.

Supplementing light for houseplants:If your home lacks bright windows or other plants are blocking sunlight, grow lights can provide the extra light needed for your houseplants to thrive.

Growing herbs and vegetables indoors:Grow lights can help you grow herbs and vegetables indoors, ensuring they get enough light for photosynthesis.

Boosting growth of indoor plants:If your indoor plants aren't growing as well as they should, adding a grow light can give them the extra boost they need. Remember to place the grow lights close enough to the plants (about 6-12 inches) and set them on a timer to mimic natural daylight cycles (12-14 hours of light per day).

Ferry-Morse offers a range of grow lights. Here's a comparison of the key features:

Indoor Grow Light Fixture with T5 Bulb-  This fixture includes a 24-watt T5 bulb that emits a 6400K full daylight spectrum, delivering 1,100 lumens with an estimated lifespan of 10,000 hours. The setup comes with a stand, making it suitable for seed starting and young plant growth.

Modern Indoor Bamboo LED Growhouse- This eco-friendly growhouse is constructed from renewable bamboo and features adjustable LED lighting to create optimal growing conditions. Its design makes it suitable for indoor plant cultivation.

Undershelf Versatile Indoor LED Grow Light- This versatileLED grow lightcan be hung or mounted under shelves or cabinets. It includes a timer with three intervals and four light intensity settings, offering flexibility for various plant growth stages. Dimensions are 15.75" L x 6" W x 0.75" H, with a lifespan of 50,000 hours.

T5 Grow Light Replacement Bulb- Designed as a replacement for existing T5 fixtures, this 24-watt bulb provides a 6400K full daylight spectrum with 1,100 lumens and a lifespan of approximately 10,000 hours. It's ideal for maintaining optimal lighting conditions in established setups.

Cool‑season plants are hardy varieties that thrive in crisp fall air and can tolerate frost—perfect for planting when temperatures drop. Examples include leafy greens like spinach, kale, and lettuce;root vegetables such as carrots, beets, and radishes; and herbs like parsley, cilantro, and chives.

Most fall vegetables need full sun, rich, well‑drained soil, and soil pH between 5.5 and 7.0. Herbs often tolerate partial shade, and many fall flowers adapt well to diverse conditions.

Consider cole crops like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and kale for color and nutrition. Add fragrant herbs like cilantro, parsley, and thyme for delightful aromas. Don’t forget the flowers! Brighten your space with pansies, lupine, and snapdragons, along with resilient violas that can even bloom through a light dusting of snow.

Begin by sowing seeds in late summer, then transplant them outdoors in early fall. Timing is key—consider your region’s soil temperature and consult local extension resources to fine‑tune planting dates.

First, clean out the garden beds to remove any summer debris. Next, run a soil test and amend the soil as needed. It's also important to plan for pest prevention. Additionally, try to avoid using standard containers, as they do not insulate well against the cold.

Many cool‑weather crops survive brief freezes (26–31°F), but very cold or frozen soil halts growth. Watering the soil (not leaves) before a freeze can help protect plants from cold damage.

Perennials are plants that live for multiple years—some are woody and stay above ground, others drop back and re-emerge in spring.Woody perennials include lavender, oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage, and salvia.Herbaceous perennials include aster, bee balm, coreopsis, coneflower, lupine, phlox, sedum, and snapdragon.

Yes! Plant both woody and herbaceous perennials in fall—either as live transplants or seeds that benefit from cold exposure (e.g., coneflowers). Be sure to note mature heights and spacing for garden planning.

The window around Labor Day is ideal for sowing cool-weather crops. These varieties germinate in soil temps between 50–68°F and, although they grow more slowly as days shorten, they’re hardy and long-lasting—many tolerate frost and even thrive into winter.

Here are some reliable, quick-growing options:

• Arugula – 20–40 days (Roquette Heirloom)
• Beets – 40–70 days (Tall Top Early Wonder)
• Broccoli – 35–65 days (De Cicco)
• Kale – 35–65 days (Red Russian)
• Leaf Lettuce – 40–60 days (Grand Rapids)
• Radishes – 30–40 days (Champion Heirloom)
• Turnips – 50–60 days (Purple Top White Globe)
• And more, like beans, kohlrabi, mesclun, mustard greens, green onions, pak choi, peas, and Swiss chard.

Check the “days to maturity” on your seed packets and count backward from your area’s expected first frost date. For example, if frost hits around November 15 and your peas take about 40 days, sow them by October 6 for enough growing time.

Many cool-season veggies like broccoli, kale, and kohlrabi can stay fresh in the garden for months—even with light frost—offering a more prolonged, more resilient harvest than summer crops.

• Frost protection: Cover sensitive plants with frost blankets to buffer against cold snaps.
• Succession planting: Once summer crops finish, clear the space and reseed the area with these fast-maturing cool-season varieties.

Starting cool-season crops indoors gives them a head start so you can transplant sturdy seedlings outdoors before temperatures drop. These early starts help ensure strong growth for leafy greens, brassicas, and other cool-weather favorites.

Focus on cool-season vegetables like leafy greens(e.g., spinach, Swiss chard), brassicas(e.g., broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage), and quick-rooting crops like radishes. These plants thrive when given extra time indoors before heading into your fall garden.

Aim to start seeds indoors about 6–8 weeks before the first expected frost in your area. That way, when transplanted, seedlings will be ready for cooler growing conditions.

Create a healthy environment with the right tools: a well-draining seed-starting mix, consistent moisture, bright light(natural or grow lights), and moderate warmth. Once seedlings are ready, use a hardening-off routine—gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions to reduce transplant shock.

The Ferry‑Morse Fall Crop Seeds to Start Indoors collection includes popular choices such as Brussels sprouts,Organic Broccoli 'Green Sprouting Calabrese', and other brassicas and leafy options—all selected for indoor starting and fall transplantation.

Yes—many of these vegetables are cold-hardy and grow even better in chillier conditions. Some, like kale and certain brassicas, develop sweeter flavor after light frosts.

Yes! Match seeding dates with your grow zone's frost timeline, maintain consistent moisture, and use season extenders like row covers or cold frames if needed to protect delicate plants.

Starting seeds indoors gives seedlings a longer growing season, offers more control over germination conditions, protects seedlings from pests, and helps avoid setbacks like heat waves or early frost.

Consider sunlight, rainfall, elevation, and region when selecting a mix.

Most of our blends are designed for full sun (6+ hours daily), but we also offer shade-tolerant mixes like All-Purpose Sun-Shade, Blue Wildflower, Cool Colors, EcoEase Microclover & Fescue, and Shade Flower.

Soil quality is usually not a limiting factor, as many wildflowers thrive in average conditions.

Yes! For arid regions, choose Dry Climate Wildflower, Hot, Dry Annual, Mediterranean Wildflower, or Southwest Wildflower mixes. Once established, these blends typically thrive on rainfall alone.

If your garden is above 7,000 feet, the Rocky Mountain Wildflower Seed Mix is ideal. For high-altitude areas below this elevation in the West, try our Colorado Western Mix.

Yes—we offer region- and state-specific blends:

• Northern zones: Northeast Wildflower, Pacific Northwest Wildflower
• Southern zones: Gulf Coast-Caribbean, Southeast Wildflower, Texas-Oklahoma
• Western zones: Colorado Western, Rocky Mountain, Southwest Wildflowers

• Nationwide: North American Wildflower Seed Mix

Absolutely. We offer annual blends — Annual Flower Seed Mix,Sunsational Sunflower Seed Mix, and Cosmos Flower Seed Mix — plus aPerennial Wildflower Seed Mix. Annuals bloom in their first year; perennials return for many seasons.

Yes—choose from Cut Flower, Cool Season, Deer Resistant, Edible Flower, Fragrant Flower, Hot, Dry Annual, Knee-High, Low-Growing, and Shade Flower mixes. These feature-specific collections let you tailor your garden’s look, height, fragrance, and wildlife appeal.

Definitely. Our Color Mix Collection includes Colorscape, Dwarf Rainbow, Pastel,Pink & Purple, Red, Red Shades Sunflower, Red, White & Blue, White, and Yellow. For shadier gardens, try Blue Wildflower or Cool Colors mixes.

Yes—our Pollinator Collection attracts bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial insects. Favorites include Bumblebee Buffet, Bee Feed, Butterfly, Bird Lover’s, Beneficial Bug, Bird & Butterfly, Hummingbird, Honey Bee, and Monarch Butterfly mixes.

Yes—the Easy Care Children’s Garden Flower Mix features safe, non-toxic annuals that are easy to grow, making it perfect for introducing kids to gardening.

Try the Mediterranean Wildflower Seeds Mix for hot, dry climates, or the Cottage Garden Flower Seed Mix for a timeless, storybook look.

Yes — EcoEase Microclover & Fescue Wildflower Mix and Flowering Grass Alternative Mix create low-maintenance lawns that need less water and fertilizer, support pollinators, and can be sown into existing grass.

Bulk seed packets are economical and can cover large areas, but unused seeds store well in cool, dry conditions. You can also share a packet with friends or plant in stages.

Because wildflower meadow is more than a pretty view—it’s a living habitat!

A meadow offers food and shelter for birds, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, helps prevent erosion, and boosts biodiversity.

Native wildflowers can even save water and make your landscape more resilient. Plus, watching a meadow you planted come to life is incredibly rewarding.

Pick a place with the right mix of sunlight, moisture, soil quality, and elevation for the seeds you’re planting. A good rule of thumb: sow about 20–40 seeds per square foot. If even weeds won’t grow there, plan on amending the soil first.

Start by clearing away weeds and unwanted plants. You can pull them, smother them, till them under, use herbicide, or combine methods. Then work the top layer of soil so your seeds have excellent seed-to-soil contact—that’s the secret to strong germination.

• Spring/Early Summer: Warm soil and enough moisture to get things started—but avoid the hottest part of summer because that’s when seedbeds dry too quickly.
  
• Fall: Let seeds rest through winter so they can sprout naturally in spring. The freeze–thaw cycle helps many wildflower seeds germinate, especially those with natural dormancy and hard seed coats.
  
• Quick tip: Annuals that bloom in spring are often planted August–November. Perennials are best planted in spring or fall. Warm-season grasses germinate when the soil is above 65 °F—plant until about 90 days before frost.

Broadcast seeds evenly by hand, ideally mixed with sand or peat moss to help spread them. Rake lightly to cover seeds, ensuring they aren’t buried too deeply. For mixes that include wildflowers, good seed-to-soil contact is key to germination.

Keep the soil moist for 4–6 weeks after planting—that’s the prime time for germination. Once plants are established, water only as needed (up to ½ inch a week in dry climates).

Test your soil before fertilizing, and if you do feed your plants, go for low-nitrogen fertilizers or compost. Over-fertilizing encourages weeds and excessive leaf growth at the expense of flowers.

Before planting, remove weeds completely so they don’t compete with your seedlings.

After your wildflowers sprout, pull weeds while they’re small, mow problem patches before they drop seeds, or spot-treat persistent invaders.

If you have unwanted grasses but no desirable ones planted, a grass-specific herbicide can help (follow the label carefully).

In cooler climates, sow from spring to early summer, in warmer climates, plant from fall to spring. Annual mixes planted in spring or early summer will usually bloom the same year, while perennial or mixed blends may take one to three growing seasons to fully establish.

Check your specific mix:

Full sun: 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily.

Partial to full sun: 3–6 hours of sunlight daily.

Shade mixes: Strong filtered light or 2–4 hours of sun daily (not for dense shade).

Remove sod, weeds, rocks, and large soil clumps. For sowing over an existing grass lawn, add a light layer of compost or topsoil to improve seed-to-soil contact.

Keep soil consistently moist until seeds sprout—daily watering may be needed in hot weather. Once established, most mixes require less frequent watering than traditional lawns or annual flower beds.

Annuals bloom the same year they’re planted, while perennials or mixed blends may take 1–3 growing seasons to reach full coverage. Allow plants to flower and reseed each year to maintain your garden or lawn.

Grass alternatives: Flowering Grass Alternative Mix, EcoEase Microclover & Fescue Mix.

Full sun mixes: Cut Flower Mix, Pollinator Mixes, Regional Wildflower Mixes.

Partial shade mixes: All Purpose Sun-Shade Mix, Blue Wildflower Mix.

Shade mixes:Shade Flower Seed Mix.

Transplant any tender herbs like basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and chives into containers indoors. Keep them in a sunny spot to continue harvesting fresh herbs long after the frost arrives.

Pick the last of your late-season veggies, such as tomatoes, beans, beets, squashes, sweet corn, okra, cowpeas, and potatoes.

Compost them! Mix “browns” (like dried leaves) and “greens” (fresh trimmings and food scraps) in a 2:1–3:1 ratio, turning occasionally. Use the finished compost to enrich your beds in spring.

Yes—cover crops like clover protect soil from erosion, preserve nutrients, and support soil health between seasons. Sow them in empty plots to keep your garden grounded and happy until spring.

Move your passion indoors! Set up containers, seed-starting trays, grow lights, and hydroponics to keep growing herbs, seedlings, or even houseplants through the colder months.

Fall provides ideal growing conditions—fewer pests and weeds, cooler weather, and natural cold stratification that helps break tough seed dormancy. This sets your perennials up to burst into blooms come spring.

Top picks include Black‑Eyed Susan, Blanket Flower, Columbine, Coneflower, Foxglove, Hollyhock, Lupine, Poppy, and Sweet William— all of which establish strong roots now for gorgeous spring and summer displays.

Broadcasting: Mix seed with a gentle carrier (like sand or vermiculite), then scatter over your prepared soil and lightly rake to ensure seed-to-soil contact.

Frost-seeding: In snowy areas, scatter seeds over snow on a sunny day—melting snow will help settle the seed into the soil.

SUPERthrive® Plant Vitamin Solution with Kelp is a vitamin supplement for plants, not a fertilizer. It combines essential vitamins with kelp, a natural source of growth hormones, to help plants recover from stress, strengthen roots, and boost overall growth. Use it alongside your regular fertilizer or plant food for best results.

Once mixed, water your plants as you normally would — just enough to moisten the soil without soaking it.

• Larger plants (trees, shrubs, bushes): Apply enough to wet the root zone, especially if the soil is dry.
• Smaller plants (flowers, herbs, or containers): Use less — stop when the soil feels evenly damp.

Tip: SUPERthrive® Plant Vitamin Solution with Kelp enhances regular watering; it doesn’t replace it. 

Please remember to follow the instructions printed on the product's label for the best results.
