How to Plant Prairie Smoke Growing prairie smoke is easy, as it's tolerant of most any soil type, including sandy and clay soils. However, it does prefer a well-draining soil enriched with organic matter above all else. While prairie smoke can also tolerate partial shade, the plant performs much better in full sun. It is usually planted in spring but fall planting can also be done. Plants that are started by seed indoors need to be stratified (having cold period) for at least four to six weeks prior to sowing them in late winter. Seedlings are normally ready to be planted outdoors come spring. Of course, you also have the option of sowing the seeds outdoors in fall and allowing nature to do the rest. Prairie Smoke Care Prairie smoke is considered a low maintenance plant. In fact, there is little involved with prairie smoke care. While it should receive adequate moisture during spring growth, especially those newly planted, prairie smoke prefers drier conditions during the remainder of the year, as it's quite drought tolerant in its native habitat. While the plant typically self-seeds or spreads underground, you can save the seeds for growing elsewhere or divide the plant clumps in spring or fall. Allow the seed heads to remain on the plant until dry and golden colored before harvesting for later planting. You can also use them in dried flower arrangements by cutting entire stems and hanging them upside down in a warm, dry location.
