Planting Guide

Best Sowing Season

Sow seeds in early spring or cool autumn.

Seed Pre‑Treatment

Soak seeds in room‑temperature clean water for 6‑10 hours
Drain water and blend seeds with fine dry sand for even broadcasting

Soil Requirement

Flat the planting ground and clear weeds. Cornflower adapts to loose sandy‑loam; permanently water‑logged soil should be avoided.

Sowing Operation

Spread the mixed sand‑seed evenly, cover with 0.15‑0.3 inch thin fine soil and lightly compact the topsoil.

Germination & Seedling Care

Keep topsoil slightly moist. Seeds germinate within 7‑14 days under 10‑22℃. Thin overcrowded seedlings and remove aggressive weeds.

Daily‑care for Mature Plants

Grow under full sunlight. Only water during prolonged dry weather. Deadhead spent blooms to extend the flowering time.

Seed Storage & Package

Damp‑proof sealed packaging protects seeds against moisture, mould and transport‑caused damage.

Keep leftover seeds in cool, dry, shaded and ventilated locations. Refrigerate for long‑time storage and stay away from hot humid air. Sow within three‑month storage for the best germination effect.
