Germination Notes
The hard seed coat benefits from scarification. Nick or lightly sand the seed coat, then soak seeds in warm water before sowing. Fall sowing outdoors or cold stratification before spring sowing can support germination. Because Baptisia develops a deep root system, transplant young seedlings carefully and establish them in a long-term location early.
