Here is the BEST Time to Start Trachelium Seeds in South Carolina (2023 Guide)

Do you want to grow trachelium seeds in South Carolina, but don’t know when to start them?

Starting trachelium seeds is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Trachelium 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 South Carolina’s growing season is not long enough, trachelium 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 trachelium seeds indoors in South Carolina:

When to Start Trachelium Seeds Indoors

Depending on the type of trachelium, it takes roughly 15 to 20 days to grow trachelium from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden. And it could take 6 – 8 weeks for your trachelium to bloom!

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

  • Finding the last average frost date HERE
  • And then subtract 15 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 trachelium 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 trachelium 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 trachelium plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your last frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
