CP42 Dry Pollinator Mix

Dormant seeding late October through early March. Missouri's warm springs mean you can push into mid-April on well-drained sites, but earlier is safer.

Dormant November through March. Sandhills plantings need extra care with seeding depth — very shallow, and firm the seedbed hard.

Dormant late October through March. Frost seeding onto snow works well in the northeast pothole region.

Dormant October through April. Frost seeding onto snow is common and highly effective in the Drift Prairie.

Dormant late October through February. Spring seeding can work east of Salina but is risky west — soil moisture disappears fast.

Plant warm-season natives from February through April in most of Texas, or in late summer ahead of fall moisture in the Panhandle. Dormant winter seeding works in the northern Panhandle but is risky on the Gulf side, where warm spells trigger early germination.

Dormant seeding from December through mid-March is the most dependable approach on the eastern plains, letting seed sit until spring moisture arrives. Spring seeding in April and May works when soil moisture is adequate; avoid dry summer plantings.

Dormant seeding from late October through March is the standard across Montana — winter cold stratifies native seed and spring snowmelt drives germination. Early-spring seeding in April is a workable second option; summer seeding rarely succeeds.

February through April is the primary window for warm-season natives statewide. Late-winter dormant seeding works well in the Panhandle and northern tier; avoid seeding into summer heat.

Dormant seeding from late October through March is the standard, using winter to stratify seed and snowmelt to trigger germination. Spring seeding is possible in April on sites with stored soil moisture.
