Sowing Instructions

 

For earlier blooms, sow seeds indoors from March to May in seed trays or pots filled with fine compost. Lightly press the seeds onto the surface and cover them with a thin layer of compost. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 18–22°C for optimal germination.

 

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off before planting outdoors after the last frost. Space plants 30–40 cm apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

 

For outdoor sowing, scatter seeds in well-prepared soil, gently rake over, and water gently. Thin seedlings as they grow to ensure proper spacing for healthy development.

 

Helichrysum Strawflower Yellow will add a brilliant splash of sunshine to your garden, creating a stunning visual display and lasting beauty in dried arrangements.
