Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing beautiful strawflowers from our premium strawflower seeds is a rewarding experience. Begin by starting seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. This gives the seedlings ample time to develop strength before transplanting outdoors. Use seed starting trays or small pots filled with a well-draining seed starting mix. Press the seeds gently onto the surface of the soil but do not cover them, as light is essential for their germination. Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 70-75°F (21-24°C), and cover the trays with plastic wrap or a clear dome to create a humid microclimate. Mist the soil regularly to keep it consistently damp, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to damping off.

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days. Once seedlings emerge, provide them with bright, indirect light. If using grow lights, position them a few inches above the young plants. As the seedlings develop a few sets of true leaves, they are ready to be transplanted. Harden them off gradually before moving them to their final outdoor location in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Space your strawflower plants 12-18 inches apart, depending on the anticipated mature size of the variety. Water consistently, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Applying a layer of mulch can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Regular deadheading of spent blooms will encourage the plant to produce more flowers throughout the season. Light pruning can also help maintain a bushy, attractive shape. These perennial flower seeds will reward you with continuous color.
