Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratification (Optional): For better germination rates, you can stratify the seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerating for 1-2 weeks before planting.

Sowing:

Timing: Sow seeds in early spring after the last frost, or in fall for a spring bloom.

Location: Choose a site with full sun to partial shade.

Soil Preparation: Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and remove any weeds or debris.

Sowing Depth: Scatter seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in. Do not cover with more than 1/8 inch of soil as they need light to germinate.

Spacing: Space seeds about 1 inch apart. Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they have several sets of leaves.

Germination:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water gently to avoid washing away seeds.

Temperature: Seeds will germinate in 10-14 days with soil temperatures between 55-70°F (13-21°C).

Transplanting:

Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after they have developed at least two sets of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed.

Spacing: Plant seedlings 6-12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Purple Phacelia is drought-tolerant once established but will perform best with consistent moisture.

Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
