Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratify seeds by placing them in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerating for 4-6 weeks. This mimics winter conditions and improves germination rates.

Sowing:

After stratification, sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in seed-starting trays or pots filled with a high-quality seed starting mix.
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) during the germination period.

Germination:

Germination typically takes 2-3 weeks.
Provide plenty of light, either from a sunny window or grow lights, ensuring 12-16 hours of light per day.

Transplanting:

When seedlings have developed several true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them to the garden.
Space plants 18-24 inches apart to accommodate their mature size.
Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Once established, Blue Globe Thistle is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering.
Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant appearance.
In late fall, cut back the foliage to ground level to prepare for the next growing season.
