Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 14 to 30 days. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 8 to 12 inches apart in well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstablished plants require minimal care. Water during extended dry periods, but avoid overwatering, as good drainage is essential. Divide dense mats every few years to maintain vigor and encourage healthy growth. Prairie Pussytoes is deer-resistant and rarely bothered by pests or diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 100 seeds of Antennaria neglecta (Prairie Pussytoes).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739757969718,"sku":"EDNA-271","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8039465090_pech.jpg?v=1792115243","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/antennaria-neglecta-100-seeds-prairie-pussytoes-native-ground-cover","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
