Start Purple Prairie Clover seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed outdoors in the fall.

To improve germination, scarify seeds by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or nicking the seed coat with a file. For further improvement, cold stratify seeds by placing them in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag or container, then refrigerate for 3-4 weeks prior to planting. Seeds sown in the fall do not require stratification or scarification.

Press seeds lightly into the soil and cover with a thin layer. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days but may take longer in cooler temperatures.

After your last frost date, transplant seedlings into a sunny location with well-draining soil, spacing plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart. Once established, Purple Prairie Clover is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in naturalized landscapes, wildflower meadows, and pollinator gardens.
