These high-quality seeds, sourced from trusted brand Sow Right Seeds, are designed to be both winter-hardy and drought-tolerant, providing an essential cover for your soil. Each packet contains a generous minimum of 14 grams of seeds, approximately 500 seeds, enough to cover an 8' x 4' garden bed. Plant with confidence knowing you are one step closer to sustainable gardening.
Winter Oats germinate quickly, typically within 7-14 days when the soil temperature is around 60°F. These seeds should be planted at a depth of 1 inch and spaced 3 inches apart for optimal growth. Expect tall, lush growth reaching 3-4 feet high with a spread of 4-6 feet, maturing within 55-65 days. They are suited for USDA Zones 8b-10a, making them ideal for many regions.
This variety is not just hardy; it's effective as a soil health enhancer. It reduces soil erosion, holds nitrogen, and suppresses pesky weeds. In spring, the winter-killed oats create a rich mulch that protects the soil while further enhancing its rich organic matter. This simple yet beneficial practice ensures your garden flourishes from year to year, making it a great addition to any gardener's toolkit.
For those concerned about ease of growth—don't worry! Full growing instructions are included on each packet. Plus, we're here for you every step of the way; if your seeds don't germinate, we'll make it right. Sustainability is at the forefront of our mission, as our operation is entirely solar-powered. When choosing our seeds, you can rest easy knowing you are using fresh, Non-GMO heirloom seeds, adhering to the Safe Seed Pledge.
