My hope for this teaweed is to establish it along edges inside the drip line of trees so it can be left to flourish until frost when it is said to go to some level of dormancy. Leaving the inner field available for other perennials like clover and chickory. The tick trefoil would be a good addition too.

The idea of starting it in pots to begin with is an attempt to create some hardy specimens for transplanting at same time as broadcasting the remainder of the seed in a raked bed in late august or early september. I think some of my problems with germination may be related to storing the seeds inside where it is air conditioned. but that is pure wild azz guessing at this point. I plan to move them to a warmer location for a couple of weeks before planting.
