Helipterum Mix Flower Seeds for Planting – Heirloom & Non-GMO Everlasting Blooms for Cut and Dried Flower Gardens

Planting and Growing Instructions:

1. When to Plant:

• Start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow after the final frost in spring.

2. Indoor Sowing Instructions:

• Sow seeds on the surface of a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix—do not cover; light is needed for germination.

• Keep at 65–70°F (18–21°C).

• Mist gently to keep moist.

• Germination occurs in 7–14 days.

3. Outdoor Transplanting:

• Harden off seedlings before transplanting.

• Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil.

• Space plants 8–10 inches apart.

4. Outdoor Direct Sowing:

• Sow shallowly and press seeds gently into the soil surface.

• Keep the area moist until germination.

• Thin seedlings as needed for airflow and space.

5. Growing Tips:

• Water regularly during establishment; reduce watering once established.

• Pinch back early growth to promote bushiness.

• Harvest flowers just before full bloom for fresh use or drying.

• Hang upside down in a dry, shaded area for long-lasting dried flowers.
