Germination Instructions: Blazing Star seeds benefit from a period of cold before sowing. Sprinkle the seeds onto a moistened paper towel and enclose in a Ziplock bag; store this in the refrigerator for six to eight weeks before sowing. Once the seeds have been cold-primed they can be sown into biodegradable starter pots. Sow 3 - 5 seeds per pot.
Alternatively, seeds can be sown directly to the garden as soon as the soil can be turned (a few weeks before average last frost date) or in late October before the snow has accumulated.
Growing in Containers: Not suited for containers.
Fertilizing (Garden): Plant in average garden soil, and feed with an organic bloom fertilizer monthly.
