Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for Centaurea Cyanus seeds.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly into the garden in early spring after the last frost date or in late summer for fall blooms.
Scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly press them into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate.
Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period to ensure good establishment.

Transplanting:

Centaurea Cyanus does not transplant well due to its taproot system. It is best sown directly where it is to grow.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods.
Thinning: Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they have a few true leaves to allow for proper growth.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming and prevent self-seeding.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost before planting and side-dress with fertilizer mid-season if needed.
Support: Depending on the variety and growth, some taller plants may benefit from staking or support to prevent bending.
