Sow seed outdoorsPlant live plantsBothThis month
Oct 29 – Mar 9Sow seed: late fall into winter

Sow most native wildflower and grass seed outdoors. Many natives need weeks of cold, moist conditions before they sprout, and a Tennessee winter does that for free.

Apr 8 – May 23Spring: after the last frost

Sow seed that needs no cold treatment, and set out live plants once the soil warms.

Sep 9 – Oct 22Plant: early fall

A strong second window for live plants and shrubs, while roots still have time to settle in.

Check each seed packet: a few species want spring sowing or special treatment. Frost dates are NOAA 1991–2020 normals (32°F, 50% chance) from 128 Tennessee weather stations; your own yard may differ by a week or two.
