Scatter 2-3 seeds with about 1 inch of space between each. Moisture Light: Cover lightly with perlite to hold moisture while allowing light to reach seeds. Mist gently to settle the perlite. Temperature Watering: Place pots in a bright, sheltered location. Keep soil moist but avoid overwatering. Seeds will sprout in approximately 3 months at 70F. Transplanting: Thin to the strongest seedling per pot for healthy root growth. Transition plants to light shade with deep watering, and slowly acclimate to full sun in autumn. Planting Site: Meadowsweet thrives in moist, mildly alkaline soil. Add limestone to raise pH if soil is highly acidic.
