Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) Mauve Ball

Growing Instructions

1. Sow the seeds on the surface of moist compost and cover.
2. Compress the compost as darkness aids in the germination.
3. Place in a heated propagator at a constant temperature of 15-20c.
4. The seeds will germinate in 14-21 days.
5. Once the seedlings are 5-7cm, transplant into individual pots.
6. Pinch out the seedlings when they have 3 sets of true leaves.
7. Gradually acclimatise the plants to cooler conditions.
8. Plant out once the risk of frost has passed.
