Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation needed. Echium Vulgare seeds are ready to sow directly.

Sowing:

Sow seeds in early spring or fall.
Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil; do not cover them deeply.
Space seeds about 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist until germination.
Germination typically occurs within 7-21 days.
Maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) during germination.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out or transplant to their final growing positions, maintaining a spacing of 12-18 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging.
Echium Vulgare is drought-tolerant once established.
Apply a light, balanced fertilizer if needed, although they generally thrive in poor soils.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and prevent excessive self-seeding.
Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and control weeds.
Cut back after flowering to prevent the plant from becoming too invasive.
