Jacob's Ladder - Blue Seeds
Start Jacob’s Ladder seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed outdoors in the fall.
Cold stratification can improve germination. Place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag or container and refrigerate for 3-4 weeks before planting. Seeds sown in the fall do not require stratification.
Press seeds lightly into the soil and cover sparingly, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 14-30 days. Germination may be slower in cooler conditions.
After your last frost date, transplant seedlings into a part-shade or full-shade location, spacing plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart. Jacob’s Ladder prefers well-draining soil and benefits from regular watering during dry spells.
