I have a big bag of seeds gathered this fall. Many of you have seeds too. January is a good time to winter sow perennials for spring germination.

If you have never tried winter sowing, you will be amazed at the good results. It has to be the easiest way to fill your garden with new plants.

You can bring spent poinsettias for sowing. Just cut off the top and sow your seeds on the poinsettia soil.

I have plenty of 4-inch pots, and a large container of sifted compost. Bring whatever other pots and seeds you'd like to try.

This is an indoor event. We'll meet in the parish hall of the church. So no freezing in the rain!

Questions. Comments.

So I really can take the flower blossoms that are falling on my carpet from the huge Pointsettia plants i got for Christmas at Lowes a few week as ago , and find seeds in them that will germinate right in their mother pots? Chris
Have fun at your event.

RE reusing poinsettias for winter sowing. We're not trying to grow new poinsettias from seed. We're killing the poinsettia by cutting it off. We are planting the seeds of other perennials we desire to germinate by winter sowing (not poinsettia seeds). We use the poinsettia pot and dirt over for winter sowing. When we set the pot outside the poinsettia roots are killed by the frost.

Churches have dozens of poinsettias available after Christmas.
