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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Blue False Indigo seeds per packet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eArrival Support\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf there is a problem with your order on arrival, contact us and include clear photos so we can help.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore related products:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/seeds\"\u003eOrnamental Seeds\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/native-north-american-seeds\"\u003eNative North American selections\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steep Hill Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44303848603798,"sku":"qD84bP9gwkYA6x4r","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/4411\/5606\/files\/29576804466838-1024_95f72cd3-10ca-4bbc-b4bd-689960e2442a.jpg?v=1787590608","url":"https:\/\/steephillgarden.com\/products\/blue-false-indigo-baptisia-australis-seeds","provider":"Steep Hill Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
