Expert Response

Hello Joan,

Many seeds do need stratification. The ones you purchase from retailers are already prepared and ready to sow- follow the directions on the package.

Here is a publication of common garden flowers with their germination information. To find the ones that need stratification, search the document for “ stratif”

If there is a particular flower or plant that this document didn’t address, please let us know.
