I don't really know., I had no directions with mine so I just planted them and they did fine, but that was early summer. Wish I could be of more help Julie, I sent the question to Amazon but they did not bother to answer, maybe you could ask them. Hope yours does well as the butterflies do like them. Mary

I planted mine about 2 months ago & they did come up OK, BUT, they are not blooming like the orange glory butterfly weed picture I ordered. Mine have small yellow flowers up & down the stem, not the orange flower on top as ordered picture shows.

I don't know, NONE of my 30 seeds produced a single plant. I fertilized, watered, and weeded, after cultivating the soil. THE SEEDS FROM THIS COMPANY WERE BAD!

Hi, I planted them at the end of August ...they were healthy and have grown about 8 more inches..but it will be next spring before I see how well they do.

They came, but already sprouted. I have not put them in yet. At this time of the year pots may be the best way to go. Good luck.

Follow the almanac as to when to plant. I do small alternating trays for juicing.

I live in Rhode Island and the winters are somewhat harsh. When would you recommend I plant the seeds?

Hi I put them in water overnight and then planted them. Only one seed sprouted anf it is growing as we speak, at this point it is still only a plant though but I hope to plant it in the ground soon

I am unsure as I bought them for my granddaughters whose parents have a lakeside home and it has been too cold to plant as yet. They are hoping around Easter. Let me know how yours do if you buy.

Spring. They will over winter in some areas and are sold in the fall for fall planting. I don't know your zone, but it might be worth trying, I'd mulch them well after planting as a fall tuber. I'm in Alaska & only plant them in the spring.

It is probably better to wait until the ground is warmer --around the first week in May. Then plant them -- they will not even bloom they will bloom every year. They do like sun and to be kept moist, however, I have some in partial shade and they are doing well...

I live in California, and usually start my seeding the 2nd or 3rd of March. For you, being in a colder climate, might not be a bad idea to wait until about the middle of the month. Start your seeding indoor, and transfer the plants to the ground about 6 weeks later.Good luck.

You can plant them now as long as you have plenty of sunlight and keep the soil fairly moist. Mine are doing great and I have them in medium pots on my kitchen window sill.

We recommend planting them within 1 year so saving them for a few months is no problem! Store them in a cool dry place.

I grew them in mid to late summer and it appears they did not survive the Minnesota winter as there is no life at this time. Not sure if they are supposed to grow until June. I also bought one in August that was mature with flowers and planted it. I wondered if it di not have enough time to root out in only 4 weeks.

Here in Florida I plant them in the spring and then they are harvested in the fall or winter. They die down and then come back up.

No as soon as you put them in the soil, you should water them or make sure the soil is wet when you root them.

i would say late may or early june at the latest. i live in zone 5, so you have to plan on what you will plant in it.

I would start them germinating in December or January. They have about a 120 day cycle from being planted in the garden to bearing fruit. I live in Portland, Oregon so that means getting them ahead of schedule as soon as possible. They don't like cold weather at all. Keep them inside after they germinate. You can sprout them in peat pots and then transplant them into the garden once it gets over 65 degrees at night consistently.
