Planting Details
| Seed Depth | 1/8" |
|---|---|
| Seed Spacing | A group of 3 seeds every 18" |
| Thinning | When 1" tall, thin to 1 every 18" |
| Germination | 14 – 30 Days |
| Start Indoors | RECOMMENDED: 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date. Mild climates: Sow in fall for winter bloom. May also be sown in late fall for spring germination. |
| Direct Sow | 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date. Successive Sowings: Every 2 weeks for continuous bloom. |
| Special Sowing | For optimal germination, orlaya seed requires stratification, the process of subjecting seed to moist/cold treatment to break dormancy, which occurs naturally when seed is sown outdoors in fall. When starting seed indoors in spring, sow the seed into a container of moistened seed-starting mix, cover with clear plastic wrap and leave the container in the refrigerator for 3 to 6 weeks, then remove to a warm location. Always keep soil evenly moist. |
