Scarify seeds by nicking the seed coat or soaking in water for 24 hours to improve germination. Plant seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in a well-drained seed-starting mix, keep moist but not waterlogged, and provide warmth (65-75°F). Germination can be slow and uneven, taking several weeks to months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a sunny location. Harden off before planting outdoors. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system; thereafter, Prairie Wild Rose is quite drought-tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Prairie Wild Rose (Rosa arkansana) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835972878646,"sku":"FOLIA2-1424","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7850687473_5z2p.jpg?v=1793096710","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/prairie-wild-rose-seeds-10-rosa-arkansana-for-pollinator-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
