• Low, mounding habit (6-12 inches) for edging and containers
• Blooms late spring to early summer; often self-sows for a return show

How to grow Blue Woodruff seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start 10-12 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Sow several weeks before the last frost, or in fall.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Rich, moist, well-draining potting mix or garden soil
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Cover seeds 1/4 inch deep and firm the soil lightly.
• Keep the seedbed evenly moist until germination.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun to partial shade.
• Temperature: Cool conditions suit it best - around 39°F (4°C) for two weeks, then near 50°F (10°C).

Germination

• Seedlings typically emerge in 2-3 weeks.
• Grow seedlings on in cool, bright conditions.

Transplanting

• Transplant after the last frost once seedlings have true leaves; harden off first.
• Space plants 9-12 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade; it fades in extreme summer heat.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist, especially in hot, dry weather.
• Fertilizer: Not heavy feeders - rich soil with compost is enough.
• Deadhead to extend flowering; leave some heads to self-sow.

Bloom Time:

Late spring to early summer.
