Planting Instructions:

• Seed Preparation:
  • Cold Stratification: Moraea Alticola seeds benefit from a cold stratification period. Place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerate for 2-4 weeks before planting to improve germination.
• Sowing:
  • Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors after the last frost.
  • Use a well-draining seed-starting mix.
  • Sprinkle seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in; do not cover as light helps trigger germination.
  • Space seeds 1-2 inches apart to allow for adequate growth.
• Germination:
  • Seeds typically germinate within 2-4 weeks under optimal conditions.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for best results.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Transplanting:
  • If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date once they have 2-3 true leaves.
  • Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before planting in the garden.
  • Space plants 6-8 inches apart in the garden.
• Care and Maintenance:
  • Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooming and prolong the flowering season.
  • Apply mulch around plants to help retain soil moisture, control weeds, and keep the soil temperature stable.
