Wintergreen ground cover seeds require a cold period to germinate. You can direct sow the seeds in the fall, lightly pressing them into the soil. The freezing temperatures of winter can act as the cold treatment that the seeds need, but this is a risky method. An alternative is to put the seeds in you refrigerator or freezer for up to 2 months before planting the seeds in a seed starter medium, such as peat moss. Check the seeds periodically to see if any seeds are germinating quickly. Remove any seeds that might rot and throw out, and plant any seeds that have germinated. Once established, this is a lovely ground cover plant.
