Hey all,

I started gardening last year with just a few easy to do perennial seeds. Now I am addicted. Everything bloomed its first year and came along so well. I decided to try my hand at winter sowing in order to fill some space. Lots of hard to mow space! Any advice for my zone or the plants would be fantastic! I am a low maintenance person and have 60 ft of frontage on a hill and again by the street. Help!

Lemon Catnip (nepeta cataria "citriodora")
English Lavender (lavandula angustifolia "lady")
Little blue stem (schizachyrium scoparium)
Pony Tails (Stipa tenuissima) I am not sure about this one
Prairie Dropseed (Sporobolus heterolepis)
Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum )

Other perennials that I will start will be:

Evening primrose
perennial snapdragon
blue flax
dianthus crimsonia
dianthus rainbow loveliness
achillea summer pastels
