(Our stock is a Pacific Northwestern eco-type).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePrairie smoke is adaptable and can establish and grow in most soils with full sun. However, it has a general tendency and preference toward dry sites – even gravel – although it can co-exist and persist within grasses (where it is perfectly at home at only about 10-inches in height). Do note that it is a slow growing but long-lived plant. In sites where it is happy it can slowly spread via rhizomes to form patchwork colonies of plants. And, prairie smoke very much benefits from cold-wet outdoor stratification to initiate germination. It’s not an easy plant to get started, but one very much worth the effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlso note -- prairie smoke is a cool climate species -- it likes long, cool winters, alpine zones, and frozen prairies -- it's a plant of warm climates. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eApproximately 100+ seeds (0.2 grams).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northwest Meadowscapes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50679625679094,"sku":null,"price":10.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1274\/1723\/files\/prairie-smoke-seeds-geum-triflorum-2879999.jpg?v=1778983644","url":"https:\/\/northwestmeadowscapes.com\/products\/prairie-smoke-seed-geum-triflorum","provider":"Northwest Meadowscapes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
