Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation required. Scabiosa Comosa seeds are ready to plant.
Sowing:
Sow seeds directly outdoors in the spring after the last frost date or in the fall for overwintering. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and remove any weeds or debris. Scatter the seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil. Water gently to settle the seeds into the soil.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days under optimal conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Transplanting:
Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and are large enough to handle, thin them to a spacing of 12-18 inches apart. Transplant any excess seedlings to fill in gaps or plant in containers. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist after transplanting until the seedlings are established.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Support: Tall varieties may benefit from staking to prevent them from flopping over.
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.
