Do you want to grow armeria maritima seeds in Indiana, but don’t know when to start them?
Starting armeria maritima seeds is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:
- Armeria Maritima Seeds must be consistently watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.
- Because Indiana’s growing season is not long enough, armeria maritima seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.
Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start armeria maritima seeds indoors in Indiana:

To help ensure the greatest success of your armeria maritima seeds germinating you should:
- Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
- Use a grow light to control how much light your armeria maritima seeds receive
- Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered
It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your armeria maritima plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your last frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
