Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Pincushion flower seeds do not require any special treatment before planting.
Ensure the seeds are stored in a cool, dry place until you are ready to plant them.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
For indoor sowing, fill seed trays or pots with a seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds into the surface, covering them with a thin layer of soil.
For outdoor sowing, choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Sow the seeds directly into the prepared soil, spacing them about 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Pincushion flower seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain consistent moisture by watering gently and regularly, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged.
If starting indoors, provide warmth (65-70 °F) and light for successful germination.

Transplanting:

If started indoors, transplant the seedlings outdoors after the last frost when they have developed several true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle.
Space the transplanted seedlings 12-18 inches apart in the garden or in containers.

Care and Maintenance:

Water the plants regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist.
Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
Monitor for pests such as aphids and spider mites, and treat infestations promptly with appropriate insecticides or organic controls.
Cut back the plants in late fall after the first frost or leave the seed heads for winter interest and to provide food for birds.

Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as plants, and the soil and sky as canvas.

Happy gardening!
