Reply:You can but just check the weather conditions label on them to see in what conditions they can grow.
Reply:depends on how cold and what plants
Reply:not outside its to cold
Reply:You can direct sow many wildflowers seeds %26amp; seeds that require pre-chilling or you can sow seeds in vented, clear-topped containers made from recycled items and placed outside during winter, allowing them to germinate at natural times per variety. Users of this method have had success in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 - 10.

Take a look at a seed catalogue, most will have some sort of notation about a seed's germination requirements, or you'll pick up a few clue-in phrases: Reseeds, Wildflower ,Will Colonize, Self Sows, Hardy Seeds,Can be direct sown early, Seedlings can withstand frost, Needs Stratification, Needs Pre-chilling, Sow Outdoors in late Autumn or early Winter, Sow outdoors in early Spring while frosts may still occur,etc


Look for names that might indicate an origin in a temperate climate: Siberian, Chinensis, Polar, Alpine,Canadensis etc.

By planting seeds of plants that reseed in Temperate Climate regions, you take advantage of natural temperature fluctuations, rather than artificially refrigerating seeds.





Seeds of most alpines, many perennials, most shrubs and trees from temperate or cold regions, and some desert plants, need a period of cold to break dormancy and encourage them to germinate. Seeds which are kept outside for stratification do not need protection from frost or snow. The purpose of stratification is to expose the seeds to alternating freezing and thawing temperatures, so they should be left outside for several weeks at a time when this fluctuation in temperature is likely to occur, to allow this to happen. Seeds which seem to require stratification and take many weeks or months to germinate include:


Anemone, Clematis, Corydalis, Dictamnus,


Eremurus, Eryngium, Hebe, Helleborus, Iris, Muscari. Nomocharis, Saxifraga.

You can also plant spring flowering bulbs in mid winter if the ground is not frozen.


Some of the more popular spring-flowering bulbs include crocus, narcissus and daffodils.

Snow Planting: Try this method on members of poppy family, heartsease, and sweet alyssum. During the winter after a heavy snow, go outside with your seeds and just broadcast them out on the snow where you want them to grow. They will come up in the spring.

To plant already growing flowers in the winter depends on what zone you are planting your flowers in, %26amp; if the type of flowers you are planting is appropriate for your planting zone.





Good Luck! Hope this is helpful.
