At Earthwise Seed Company, we believe it’s always planting season. Whether you're building a native lawn, touching up bare spots, or bringing in blooms to support pollinators, there is always something you can sow—even in summer.
You might be surprised to learn that with the right seed and a few smart tips, planting in the warmer months is not only possible, it can be incredibly productive.
Why Summer Can Still Be a Great Time to Plant
- Warm Soil = Fast Germination: Seeds germinate faster in warm soil, especially native grasses and wildflowers adapted to your region.
- Longer Days = Stronger Growth: With more daylight hours, seedlings have more time to establish strong root systems before fall.
- Native Seeds Know What to Do: Many of our seeds are native or regionally adapted, meaning they are built to handle heat and drought once established.
Tips for Summer Planting Success
-
Water Wisely
Water deeply but less frequently to encourage deep roots. Aim for early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation. -
Mulch Where You Can
A light layer of mulch helps retain moisture and keeps roots cool. -
Start Small if You Need To
Not ready to do a full lawn? No problem. Patch bare spots, try container native plants, or plant a small section. -
Use the Right Seed Mix
Our Low Grow, No Mow Lawn, and Red Creeping Thyme mixes are designed for tough conditions and low maintenance.
