  • 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 be sandy or loamy.
  • Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun to thrive. They should be planted in an area that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Watering requirements: Water the seeds regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once established, cornflowers are relatively drought-tolerant and only need watering during prolonged dry periods.
  • 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 flowers usually reach maturity and begin to bloom about 10-12 weeks after planting.
  • Harvesting time: The best time to harvest the flowers is in the early morning when the blooms are fully open and the petals are fresh.
  • Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the flowers. For seed saving, allow the flower heads to dry on the plant, then collect the seeds. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
