How to grow Red Royal Catchfly seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start in spring after a cold-moist stratification period (see below).
• Outdoors: Sow in fall so winter provides natural chilling, for spring germination.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Plastic wrap or humidity dome (until germination)
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface sow — the seed needs light to germinate, so do not cover it.
• Give about 60 days of cold-moist stratification (in a refrigerator) before spring sowing, or sow outdoors in fall.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Light is required for germination; grow seedlings in bright light.
• Temperature: Around 60–70°F (16–21°C) for spring germination.
• Humidity: Keep the surface evenly moist until germination.

Germination

• Germination follows the chilling period in spring; keep the mix consistently moist.
• Move sprouted seedlings into bright light promptly.

Transplanting

• Transplant when seedlings have several true leaves and frost danger has passed.
• Harden off before planting out.
• Space about 12 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment.
• Fertilizer: Generally not heavy feeders.

Bloom Time:
