Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is needed for cockscomb seeds.
Sowing:
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Use a seed-starting mix and sow seeds on the surface, lightly pressing them into the soil. Do not cover with soil as they need light to germinate. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate in 10-15 days. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Provide plenty of light, either from a sunny window or grow lights, for at least 12-16 hours per day.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days. Plant seedlings 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil with full sun exposure.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, keeping the soil evenly moist. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Monitor for pests such as aphids and spider mites, and treat as necessary with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as plants, and the soil and sky as canvas.
