HOW TO SOW & CARE

• Sowing Time: Ideally sown between September and November in India.

• Sowing Method: Scatter seeds on the surface of fine, well-draining soil. Light is required for germination, so barely cover them or just press them firmly into the soil.

• Germination: Seeds usually sprout within 10–14 days at temperatures between 18°C and 24°C.

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun (at least 6 hours) but benefits from afternoon shade in slightly warmer regions.

• Watering: Maintain consistent moisture. Water at the base of the plant to keep the "hoary" (fuzzy) leaves dry and prevent fungal issues.

• Soil: Thrives in fertile, neutral to slightly alkaline soil. Adding a bit of lime or compost helps.

BENEFITS & USES

• Aromatic Borders: Plant them near patios or walkways where their scent can be best enjoyed 🚶‍♂️

• Natural Dye: Historically, a soft purple or blue dye can be extracted from the petals 🎨

• Butterfly Magnet: The nectar-rich purple spikes are a huge draw for local pollinators 🦋

DISCLAIMER

Stock flowers require cool nighttime temperatures to set buds effectively. Germination is dependent on following the correct light-exposure instructions during sowing.
