Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is needed. Centaurea Cyanus seeds are small and should be handled carefully.
Sowing:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date. Prepare a seedbed by loosening the soil to a depth of 1-2 inches and removing any weeds. Scatter seeds evenly over the prepared soil surface. Lightly press the seeds into the soil, ensuring good soil contact.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Transplanting:
Thin seedlings to about 6-8 inches apart once they have 2-3 true leaves. If starting indoors, sow seeds in biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance. Transplant seedlings outdoors after hardening them off gradually.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Support: Provide support for taller varieties if necessary to prevent them from bending or falling over. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
