- Soil requirements: Centaurea cyanus, commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button, prefers well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. The soil should be moderately fertile and can range from sandy to loamy textures.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun to thrive, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Cornflowers are relatively drought-tolerant once established. Water the seeds regularly during the germination period, but once the plants are established, they only need moderate watering. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Centaurea cyanus seeds is in early spring after the last frost, or in late fall for a spring bloom.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) and space them about 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
- Germination time: The seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Centaurea cyanus plants usually reach maturity and start blooming within 60-90 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest cornflowers is in the early morning when the flowers are fully open and the dew has dried. This helps in preserving the freshness and color of the flowers.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the flowers. For seed saving, allow the flowers to dry on the plant and then collect the seeds. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for future planting.
