How to grow Florence Pink Cornflower seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil.
• Keep the seedbed evenly moist until germination.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun.
• Temperature: 60-70°F (16-21°C) for germination.

Germination

• Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days.
• Thin to the strongest seedlings.

Transplanting

• Water: Water regularly until established; tolerates drier soil afterward.
• Fertilizer: Average soil is fine; avoid heavy feeding.
