Winter Sowing Native Flowers and Perennials

Native flowers lend themselves very well to the winter sowing method since most of them require cold stratification and this method naturally provides that freeze and thaw cycle they need to germinate.  Just be sure to winter sow them in January or early February so they get 30 to 60 days of cold stratification.  I'm starting native flower seeds in January and I'm Gardening in NJ, zone 6b

I love growing flower seeds using the winter sowing method in containers like water jugs, milk jugs or other plastic containers.  These are the flower seeds that I will be winter sowing in 2023 and what time of year that I sow each type.  Gardening in NJ, zone 6b
