How to sow:

1. Seed Trays and Transplanting: Start the seeds in seed trays or small pots indoors. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them to their final growing location. This method allows for better control of the early growth stages and protection from adverse conditions.
2. Direct Sowing with Mulch: Scatter the seeds directly onto prepared soil and cover lightly with a thin layer of mulch. The mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds, giving the seeds a better chance to germinate and establish.

It is ideal for planting in areas with full sunlight.

The optimal time to plant your Sainfoin seeds is in the spring (March to May) or early autumn (September to early October).
