Here is the BEST Time to Start Mimosa Seeds in Delaware (2023 Guide)

Do you want to grow mimosa seeds in Delaware, but don’t know when to start them?

Starting mimosa seeds is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Mimosa 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 Delaware’s growing season is not long enough, mimosa 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 mimosa seeds indoors in Delaware:

When to Start Mimosa Seeds Indoors

Depending on the type of mimosa, it takes roughly 21 to 40 days to grow mimosa from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden. And it could take 3 to 4 months for your mimosa to bloom!

The approximate date of when you should start your mimosa seeds indoors can be found by:

  • Finding the last average frost date HERE
  • And then subtract 21 days from it

You can also find the average last frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:

To help ensure the greatest success of your mimosa 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 mimosa 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 mimosa plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your last frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
