How to Plant Immortelle from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Outdoors: Sow seeds in early spring after the last frost.
  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost for earlier blooms.

Seed Preparation

  • Immortelle seeds do not require stratification.
  • Soaking seeds overnight in warm water can help speed up germination.
  1. Choose a well-drained, sunny location.
  2. Loosen soil and mix in a small amount of compost.
  3. Scatter seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil.
  4. Cover seeds with a thin layer (1/8 inch) of sand or soil.
  5. Water gently and keep the area moist but not soggy.
  6. Germination occurs in 2-4 weeks, depending on temperature.

Starting Seeds Indoors

  1. Use seed trays or small pots with sandy, well-draining soil.
  2. Sow seeds on the surface and cover lightly.
  3. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
  4. Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.
  5. Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, harden them off before transplanting outdoors.

Pro Tip

Pinch back the stems to promote bushier growth and more blooms. If you’re growing it for dried flowers, harvest when the blooms are just starting to open for the best preservation.

Bonus: Its sunny yellow blooms are perfect for adding a pop of color and texture to dried arrangements!
