Planting and Sowing Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by selecting a well-draining, sunny location for your Matthiola Incana flowers. Prepare the soil by loosening it and adding compost for improved fertility.
-
Sowing Indoors: For an early start, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Plant the seeds in small pots or seed trays, lightly covering them with a fine layer of soil. Keep the soil moist and place in a warm location with plenty of light.
-
Sowing Outdoors: If sowing directly outdoors, wait until the last frost has passed. Plant the seeds 1/8 - 1/4 inch deep and space them 8 - 12 inches apart. Water gently after sowing.
-
Care: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Once the seedlings are established, reduce watering. Regularly check for pests and remove any weeds that may compete with your flowers.
-
Maintenance: These flowers thrive with occasional deadheading (removing faded blooms) to encourage more flowering. They also benefit from light fertilization every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
-
Harvesting: When the flowers have fully bloomed, you can cut them for bouquets or allow them to naturally set seeds for the following season.
Tips:
-
Matthiola Incana thrives in cooler temperatures, making them perfect for spring and fall planting.
-
Plant in areas where they get at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for the best results.
-
Provide good air circulation to prevent disease.
