Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is required for Helianthemum seeds.
Sowing:
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Scatter seeds lightly on the soil surface or press them gently into the soil, as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days when temperatures are around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Maintain even moisture during the germination period to ensure successful sprouting.
Transplanting:
If started indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date once they have developed several true leaves. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering as Helianthemum prefers slightly drier conditions once established. Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a neat appearance. Pruning: Trim back plants lightly after flowering to encourage bushier growth and potentially stimulate a second bloom. Winter Care: In colder climates, apply a layer of mulch over the plants to protect them during winter.
