Rose Campion Seeds
Start Rose Campion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed outdoors in early spring or fall.
Cold stratification will improve germination. Place seeds inside of a moist paper towel in a plastic bag and keep in the fridge for 2-3 weeks before seeding.
Press seeds lightly into the soil and cover thinly. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date into a sunny or part-shade location, spacing plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart for optimal growth. Rose Campion thrives in well-draining soil and tolerates drought once established.
