The typical last spring frost is around Apr 22 and the first fall frost around Oct 21, so most native seed goes in outdoors in late fall or winter. Of these, 53 feed pollinators, 42 handle dry spells and 26 are deer-resistant; bloom peaks in June. Good places to start: Narrowleaf milkweed, Rocky Mountain iris and Common gaillardia (blanketflower).

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.
