Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required for Cornflower seeds. They are generally easy to handle and sow.

Sowing:

Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring after the last frost date, or in late summer for fall blooms.
Scatter seeds over a prepared seedbed or container filled with lightly raked soil.
Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as Cornflower seeds need light to germinate.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days when temperatures are consistently around 60-70 °F (15-21 °C).
Keep the soil evenly moist during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Cornflowers do not transplant well due to their deep taproot. Therefore, direct sowing is recommended.
Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they have developed their first true leaves to allow for proper spacing.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water young plants regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish strong root systems. Once established, Cornflowers are somewhat drought tolerant.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
Support: Tall varieties may benefit from staking to prevent them from flopping over in windy conditions.

Happy Gardening!
