- Like many other perennials, agastache seeds need to go through a process called stratification in order to help them germinate. This just means that you\'re going to mimic the cold temperatures of winter to weaken the seed coat so water can get through.
- Do this by getting your soilless growing medium damp and placing the seeds on top of it. If you have a large refrigerator, you can go ahead and put the growing mix and seeds in a tray. Otherwise, place them both in a plastic bag to save on space.
- Make sure your seeds and soil are covered with plastic, then put them in your refrigerator for a month. You can check on them halfway through to make sure the soil is still damp.
- Remove your seeds after the month is up. If you didn’t plant them in your trays, go ahead and do that now by placing seeds on top of the soil. Press the seeds in, but don’t cover them at all (they need light to germinate).
- Cover your trays with plastic domes to keep moisture in, and set them under grow lights or by a sunny window. Seeds should germinate in about 2 weeks but can take up to a month.
- Keeping your seedlings well-watered as they grow is important, but you don’t want to overdo it. Water just before the soil dries out, and run a fan every so often to help prevent fungal diseases like damping off.
- Once your seedlings sprout, remove the plastic domes and keep them under grow lights. Water as needed to keep the soil from drying out and run a fan a few times a day for good air circulation.
- When your seedlings are about 4 inches tall, you can harden them off by taking them outside during the day and bringing them back in at night. After a week of doing this, they are ready to go in your garden
Growing from Seed Outdoors - You can also skip a few steps by directly sowing your agastache seeds outdoors in the spring. Just keep in mind that directly sown plants will take longer to bloom than ones started indoors.
- Seeds should be planted after the danger of frost has passed in the spring. Get them ready a month ahead of time by putting them through the cold stratification process explained above.
- After your last frost date, choose the area where you want to plant your seeds and clear it of weeds and debris. Rake the surface smooth to give yourself a place to sow seeds. Then, scatter your seeds on top of the soil and press them in gently.
- Water the area where you planted seeds and keep it from drying out while they germinate. Germination should happen in 2-4 weeks.
- Planting seeds outdoors is easier but plants will be behind those started early indoors.
Fall Planting - For a really hands-off approach, sow seeds in fall and let them sprout on their own in the spring.
