Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Scarify seeds lightly with sandpaper or soak them in water overnight before planting. This helps break the seed coat and promotes better germination.
Sowing:
Indoors: Start seeds indoors in early spring using seed-starting trays filled with a well-draining mix.
Outdoors: Alternatively, sow seeds outdoors in late spring to early summer when the soil has warmed.
Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-prepared soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate.
Germination:
Germination typically takes 20-30 days at temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Ensure the soil remains moist, but not waterlogged, to support successful germination.
Transplanting:
Once seedlings have developed strong roots and several true leaves, transplant them outdoors after the last frost.
Space seedlings 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering:
Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as Aquilegia plants prefer consistently moist conditions.
Deadheading:
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent unwanted seed production.
Mulching:
Apply mulch around the plants to maintain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and control weeds.
