Sow seed outdoorsPlant live plantsBothThis month
Oct 21 – Mar 23Sow 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 Washington winter does that for free.

Apr 22 – Jun 6Spring: after the last frost

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

Sep 1 – Oct 14Plant: 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 135 Washington weather stations; your own yard may differ by a week or two.
