Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is needed for Skeleton Flower seeds. However, scarification (nicking the seed coat with a sharp knife or sandpaper) may help improve germination rates for some species.
Sowing:
Choose a partially shaded to fully shaded location in your garden. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 6 to 8 inches and incorporating organic matter such as compost or leaf mold. Scatter the seeds evenly over the soil surface. Press them gently into the soil but do not cover them with additional soil, as Skeleton Flower seeds require light to germinate.
Germination:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a fine mist sprayer or water from below to avoid displacing the seeds. Maintain a temperature of around 70°F (21°C) for optimal germination. Use a heating mat if necessary to provide bottom heat. Germination typically occurs within 2 to 4 weeks, although it may take longer for some species.
Transplanting:
When the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into their final growing positions. Space the seedlings according to the mature size of the species, typically 12 to 18 inches apart.
Care and Maintenance:
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Skeleton Flowers prefer a cool, shaded environment, so provide protection from hot afternoon sun if necessary. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding, as Skeleton Flowers can be prolific self-seeders in favorable conditions. Monitor for pests and diseases, and treat promptly if any problems arise. In colder climates, protect the plants from frost by covering them with a frost cloth or bringing potted plants indoors during the winter months.
