Planting tips

Some perennials need stratification - so-called cold activation - for quality germination. That is why planting perennial flowers in the fall is the best solution. Aquilegia, lavender, primrose, delphinium and winter-hardy cyclamen need stratification.

Of the annuals, alisum, calendula, cornflowers, cosmea, lavatera, gypsophila, godetia, Iberis, and nigella can be sown in the fall.

Seeds should be sown more densely in the fall than in the spring, as a cold winter can reduce the number of sprouts.
