How to Plant Raspberry Cream Gomphrena Seeds
Planting Season
- Best Time to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly into the garden after all danger of frost has passed.
Seed Preparation
- No Special Treatment Needed: Gomphrena seeds typically germinate well without the need for stratification. Simply sow the seeds directly into the soil or start them indoors.
Planting Instructions
- Depth: Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep.
- Spacing: Space seeds or seedlings about 12-18 inches apart, as Gomphrena plants can grow bushy and need space to spread.
- Light Requirements: Full sun is ideal for the best flower production.
- Soil Requirements: Well-draining soil is best. Gomphrena prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil but is adaptable to various soil types.
Watering and Care
Watering Needs
- Water regularly until the plant is established. Once mature, Raspberry Cream Gomphrena is drought-tolerant, needing little water during dry spells. However, consistent moisture will support the healthiest growth and flowering.
Fertilizer
- A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring will promote strong growth and vibrant blooms. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.
Pruning
- Deadheading spent flowers will encourage continued blooming. If desired, trim back any excessive growth during the growing season to maintain a tidy appearance and enhance airflow.
Hardiness Zones
- Gomphrena is best suited for USDA zones 9-11, but it can be grown as an annual in cooler zones.
