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.
