I am going to try winter sowing for the first time this year because I have a ton of space to fill. I don't know when to start though! I am busy ordering seeds and figuring out what kind of containers that I will use but can't find any info on when I should plant and set my containers outside.
The main things I want to WS are ornamental grasses, agastache, penstemon, ice plant, chocolate daisy, echinacea, rudbeckia, heuchera, lavender, and salvia. Are any of things extremely difficult to WS? Anything that you would just buy as a mature plant at a nursery?
Sidenote: I do have a set of grow lights in the crawl space of my house. The previous owner of the house was using them to grow "god only knows" down there, tee-hee! So, I don't know how to use them but I could drag them out, set them up in my garage and try them if any of these seeds do better under lights.
So, any advice on when to start sowing and pointers on my individual seeds would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
