Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• No special preparation is required. However, a cold stratification period can improve germination. To do this, place seeds in a sealed container with moist sand or peat moss and refrigerate for 4-6 weeks before planting.

Sowing:

• Indoor Sowing: Start indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Use a seed-starting mix and scatter seeds on the surface of the soil. Press them gently into the surface without covering them.
• Maintain a soil temperature of 55-65°F (13-18°C) for optimal germination.
• Outdoor Sowing: Prepare the soil well and scatter seeds on the surface, pressing them lightly into the soil in early spring.

Germination:

• Seeds generally germinate in 2-4 weeks under optimal conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide light, avoiding direct sunlight during the germination period.

Transplanting:

• Once seedlings are strong enough to handle, transplant them outdoors after the last frost date.
• Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before planting.
• Space seedlings 12-18 inches apart to accommodate their mature size.

Care and Maintenance:

• Regular watering is essential to keep the soil consistently moist, particularly during dry periods.
• Mulch around the plants to maintain soil moisture and keep roots cool.
• Protect from extreme heat and direct sunlight, as Meconopsis thrives in cooler, shaded environments.

Happy Gardening!
