Sowing advice

Sow in autumn  and spring .Centaureas do not transplant well. Sow  in  plugs for easy transplanting,  or direct where they are to grow.
Cover seed with 6mm of fine soil and firm lightly. Germinate at  18-21°C.  Grow seedlings on  at  cooler temps to prevent rapid soft growth. Transplant carefully from plugs after all danger of frost has passed.
