Purple Hoary Stock Flower Seeds for Planting – Organic, Heirloom & Non-GMO Fragrant Cottage Garden Blooms

Planting and Growing Instructions:

1. When to Plant:

• Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost for spring blooms.

• In mild climates, direct sow outdoors in early fall for late winter/early spring flowers.

2. Seed Starting Indoors:

• Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in moist, well-drained seed-starting mix.

• Maintain soil temperature between 60–65°F (15–18°C).

• Keep moist until germination in 10–14 days.

• Provide bright light to prevent leggy seedlings.

3. Transplanting Outdoors:

• Harden off seedlings and transplant into full sun to part shade.

• Space plants 8–12 inches apart in well-drained, rich soil.

• Ideal for cooler growing conditions—plants may struggle in high summer heat.

4. Care Tips:

• Water regularly, especially in dry conditions.

• Pinch early growth to encourage branching.

• Remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.

• Harvest cut flowers just before full bloom for the best vase life.
