Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. However, scarification (scratching the seed coat) or soaking seeds in warm water overnight can help improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, once soil temperatures have warmed to at least 60°F (16°C).
Scatter seeds lightly on the soil surface or plant them 1/4 inch deep.
Space seeds 6-8 inches apart.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Carthamus Kinko is generally grown from direct sowing as it does not transplant well due to its taproot.
Thin seedlings to a spacing of 12-18 inches apart once they have developed several true leaves.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging.
Support: Tall varieties may benefit from staking or support to prevent them from bending or breaking in strong winds.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding, if desired.
