Planting Instructions:

• Seed Preparation:
  Stratify seeds by placing them in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerating for 4-6 weeks. This mimics winter conditions and improves germination rates.

• Sowing:
  After stratification, sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting trays or pots filled with a high-quality seed-starting mix.
  Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) during the germination period.

• Germination:
  Germination typically takes 2-3 weeks.
  Provide plenty of light, either from a sunny window or grow lights, ensuring 12-16 hours of light per day.

• Transplanting:
  When seedlings have developed several true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them to the garden.
  Space plants 18-24 inches apart to accommodate their mature size.
  Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Care and Maintenance:

• Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

• Once established, Blue Globe Thistle is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering.

• Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant appearance.

• In late fall, cut back the foliage to ground level to prepare for the next growing season.

Happy Gardening! 🌿
