Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow during a cool growing period, ideally when temperatures are mild. Aurikel seeds benefit from cool conditions for successful germination.

Sowing: Fill a clean seed tray with a fine, well-draining seed-starting mix. Scatter the seeds thinly over the surface and gently press them into the medium.

Depth: Do not deeply bury the seeds. Surface sowing is preferred because the small seeds benefit from exposure to light.

Spacing: Once seedlings are established, provide enough room for good air circulation and mature growth.

Sunlight: Grow seedlings in bright filtered light or partial shade. Protect plants from intense afternoon heat, particularly in warmer climates.

Soil: Use fertile, humus-rich soil that drains freely while retaining moderate moisture. Avoid heavy, poorly drained soil.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and early growth. Water gently to avoid disturbing the small seeds and young roots.

Germination: Germination can take several weeks and may be improved by cool growing conditions. Keep the seed medium moist throughout the process.

Transplanting: Move seedlings carefully once they have developed several true leaves and are strong enough to handle. Harden them gradually before planting outdoors.

Fertilizing: Feed established plants lightly with a balanced fertilizer during active growth. Avoid excessive fertilization, which can encourage foliage over flowers.

Care: Remove faded flowers to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage continued flowering. Provide good airflow and avoid constantly wet soil.

Flowering/Maturity: Aurikel generally flowers in spring after becoming established. Flowering time can vary according to climate, growing conditions, and plant maturity.
