1. Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Lightly press seeds into the soil, as they require light to germinate.
2. Stratification: For better germination, cold stratify seeds by placing them in the fridge for 2–4 weeks before sowing.
3. Germination: Keep the soil moist and expect germination in 3–6 weeks at 65–70°F.
4. Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough, transplant them outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants about 12–18 inches apart.
5. Light: Provide full sun for optimal growth and flowering.
6. Watering: Water regularly but ensure good drainage, as Sea Holly prefers well-drained, sandy soil and is relatively drought-tolerant once established.
7. Flowering: Sea Holly typically blooms in late summer, with its distinctive blue flowers lasting for several weeks.
Sea Holly Blue is ideal for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance, eye-catching plant that thrives in full sun and adds long-lasting color to gardens.
