How to Germinate Cornflower Tall Pink

How to Germinate Cornflower Tall Pink (Centaurea cyanus)

  • Sow Cornflower Tall Pink seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, as they prefer cooler temperatures for germination.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for optimal growth.
  • Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them gently; do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
  • Water lightly to keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, which typically takes 7-14 days.
  • Thin seedlings to about 6-12 inches apart once they have grown a few inches tall to promote air circulation and healthy growth.
  • Sow seeds every 2-3 weeks for a continuous bloom throughout the growing season.

Additional Tips

  • Cornflower Tall Pink thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, particularly in hotter climates.
  • Water regularly, keeping the soil slightly moist, but avoid overwatering, as they prefer drier conditions once established.
  • Apply a thin layer of mulch to help retain moisture and prevent weed growth around the plants.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
  • Allow some flowers to go to seed if you want them to self-seed and return the following year.
