How To Plant Sunflowers?
The flowers appear in a variety of colors (yellow, red, orange, maroon, and brown), but the most frequent are bright yellow with brown centers that develop into massive heads full of seeds. Sunflowers thrive in areas with direct sunlight (6 to 8 hours each day).
Planting Sunflower Seeds
After the soil has properly warmed, plant sunflowers 1 to 1.5 inches deep and 6 inches apart. If desired, plant many seeds and thin them to the strongest candidates when the plants reach 6 inches in height.
Allow lots of space for plants, especially low-growing types that will branch out. Rows should be roughly 30 inches apart. (Plant closer together for very small variants.)
A modest fertilizer application put in at planting time can support strong root growth, preventing them from blowing over in the wind.
Experiment with plantings spaced 5 to 6 weeks apart to ensure ongoing flowering.
It takes only 80-95 days for a sunflower to completely grow.
How To Plant Aubrieta?
Aubrieta is called for the French artist who popularized them through his paintings. They're ideal for rock gardens.
Aubrieta Seeds Planting
Sow aubrieta seeds in seed flats indoors over a sterile potting mix. Seeds require light to germinate, so press them down but do not cover them.
Keep the seeds wet at around 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Germination will occur in two to three weeks.
Harden the seedlings off for about a week before putting them in garden soil or permanent containers.
How To Plant Coleus?
Coleus plants are a type of leafy or succulent plant that comes in a variety of types. They may generate a wide range of colors. Because of their vulnerability to cold conditions, they often seem like annuals despite being perennials.
Planting Coleus Seeds
Sprinkle the tiny seeds evenly over a tray filled with potting mix, then lightly cover it with dirt.
Cover the tray with plastic wrap and place it in a sunny, warm location for two weeks, or until seedlings grow.
Remove the plastic and continue to grow the seedlings in moist soil.
When the seedlings have two sets of true leaves, carefully transplant them into their pots and continue to cultivate them until outdoor planting time. Before planting seedlings in the garden, make careful to harden them off.
How To Plant Golden Marguerite?
Golden Marguerite is also known as yellow chamomile, golden chamomile, and cota tinctoria. Its vivid yellow blossoms thrive when combined with other close-growing plants. This is a perennial that resembles a daisy.
Planting Golden Marguerite Seeds
Fill trays, punnets, or jiffy pots halfway with a suitable seed-raising mix or use soil starting pellets.
Plant seeds 2mm deep.
Maintain moist but never damp or dry soil.
At a soil temperature of 18-21°C, seeds should germinate in 14-28 days.
Once seedlings have their first true leaves and are large enough to handle (typically 5-10cm tall), transplant them into the garden.
How To Plant Summer Savory?
It is a simple plant that produces little blooms and is commonly grown as an herb.
Planting Summer Savory Seeds
Summer savory seeds thrive in loamy soil and are best sown in the spring. If you want to plant these seeds in your garden, wait until late April when harsh frosts are less likely. You might have to acquire the seeds online rather than going to a garden center.
If you wish to start the process indoors, seeds can be potted up in late winter. Simply wait until April to transfer them outside. The seeds require only a little layer of soil and normally germinate within two weeks.
When the seedlings reach a couple of inches in height, thin them out. This will guarantee that the plant grows densely as it should. The seeds should not be covered, and they require plenty of direct sunshine to thrive.
And do not forget, having fun is the most important thing in gardening.
