🧑🌾 Step-by-Step Planting Instructions
Start Indoors (Recommended for all zones):
- Fill seed trays with moist, well-draining seed-starting mix.
- Sow seeds ¼ inch deep. Cover lightly with soil. (Seeds germinate best in darkness.)
- Place the tray in a warm area (70–75°F) with bright, indirect light.
- Seedlings emerge in 7–14 days. Move to a bright location.
- After 4–6 weeks, harden off seedlings over 5–7 days before transplanting outdoors.
Direct Sow (Best for Zones 8–10):
- Wait until soil temperature reaches 60°F (15°C) and all frost danger has passed.
- Prepare a well-drained bed in full sun. Remove weeds and loosen soil.
- Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, spacing seeds 2–3 inches apart in rows.
- Water gently to avoid washing seeds away.
- After 3–4 weeks, thin seedlings to 12–15 inches apart.
Ongoing Care:
- Watering: Water regularly until established. Once mature, water only during prolonged dry spells. The plant is moderately drought-tolerant.
- Fertilizing: Do not fertilize. Gomphrena prefers poor soil and will produce more flowers when grown lean.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage a longer bloom period.
- Overwintering: This is an annual. It will die back after the first frost.
