Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Salsify seeds do not require special preparation, but soaking them in water for a few hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds directly into the garden in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked.

Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep and 2 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart.

Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart once they are a few inches tall.

Germination:

Salsify seeds typically germinate in 10-20 days.

Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Salsify is best sown directly in the garden and is not typically transplanted due to its long taproot. However, if starting indoors, transplant carefully to avoid root damage.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to maintain even soil moisture, especially during dry periods.

Weed the area to prevent competition for nutrients and water.

Mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Happy Gardening!
