Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation:
No special seed preparation is required. Ensure seeds are fresh and dry before sowing.
Sowing:
Sow seeds outdoors in early spring or late fall (autumn).
Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and moist soil.
Scatter seeds lightly on the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil.
Germination:
Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days, depending on environmental conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination.
Transplanting:
Ragged Robin is generally grown from seed directly where it will grow as it doesn't transplant well due to its taproot.
If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance when transplanting outdoors.
Care and Maintenance:
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil moist.
Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
In colder climates, provide a layer of mulch in late fall to protect roots over winter.
Ragged Robin is generally low-maintenance once established but benefits from occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
