Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

To enhance germination, seeds should be scarified. Rub the seeds gently with sandpaper or nick them with a knife to break the hard outer coating.
Soak the scarified seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting. This helps to soften the seed coat and encourage germination.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds directly in the garden or start indoors in pots.
If sowing directly, plant the seeds 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep in well-draining soil.
Space the seeds about 12 inches (30 cm) apart to allow adequate room for growth.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintain a warm temperature of around 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination.
Germination typically occurs within 2-3 weeks under ideal conditions.

Transplanting:

If started indoors, transplant the seedlings outdoors once they have at least two sets of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed.
Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for planting.
Space the transplants 12 inches (30 cm) apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Water the plants regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Sturt's Desert Pea is drought-tolerant once established.
Apply a light mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Watch for pests and diseases, though Sturt's Desert Pea is generally pest-resistant. Treat any infestations with appropriate organic methods.
Prune dead or damaged stems to maintain plant health and encourage new growth.
In colder climates, consider growing Sturt's Desert Pea in containers that can be moved indoors during the winter months.

Where flowers bloom, so does hope.

Happy gardening!
