HOW TO GROW
- Cornflower seed should be sown directly in the
garden after frost. - Direct sow in average soil in full sun after
danger of heavy frost. - Select a location in full to part shade with
good rich well-drained organic soil protected from wind. - Prepare the bed by turning the soil under to a
depth of 8 inches. - Level with a rake to remove clumps of grass and
stones. - Most plants respond well to soils amended with
organic matter. - Compost is a wonderful form of organic matter
with a good balance of nutrients and an ideal pH level, it can be added to your
planting area at any time. - If compost is not available, top dress the soil
after planting with 1-2 inches of organic mulch, which will begin to breakdown
into compost. - After the growing season, a soil test will
indicate what soil amendments are needed for the following season. - Sow seeds evenly and cover with ½ inch of fine
soil. - Firm soil lightly, water and keep evenly moist.
- Seedlings will emerge in 7-10 days.
- Thin plants to 12 inches when seedlings are 1
inch high.
SEED STORING
- Store your seeds in a cool, dry
and dark location. - Most seeds have a long shelf
life, but heat and moisture will cut that life short. - Dedicate a drawer or cabinet to
storing your seeds where you can also house your gardening journal close
at hand for dreaming, planning and preparing.
