Starting a Perennial Plant Business from Your Meadow

To sell plants next spring:

• Start perennial seeds indoors late January (most won't bloom first year).
• Dig and pot "baby" volunteers in early spring; they'll be sale‑ready in weeks.
• Divide large clumps (except taprooted lupines, coneflowers).
• Use quality bulk potting mix.
• Sell at farmers' markets, swaps, or online.

Second‑year perennials sell best; annuals like cosmos are easy from seed.
