Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep soil consistently moist. Transplant seedlings after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in a shaded location with moist soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, Golden Ragwort is low-maintenance and will naturalize.
