Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and speed up germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date.
Plant seeds 1/2 inch deep in rows spaced 6-12 inches apart.
Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they are 2-3 inches tall.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Not recommended, as safflower has a taproot that does not transplant well.
If starting indoors, transplant seedlings carefully to avoid root disturbance.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly during dry periods, but avoid overwatering.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvest flowers when they are fully open for dye production or as an ornamental.
For oil production, allow the seeds to fully mature and dry on the plant before harvesting.
