Nemophilla

Flower

Start indoors, in peat or coir pots, 6-8 weeks before planting out. It’s probably simpler to direct sow in early spring, when a chance of frost is still possible. In mild winter areas, seeds can also be direct sown in the fall. Ideal soil temperature for germination: 12°C (55°F). Seeds should sprout in 7-21 days.

Timing:

Start indoors, in peat or coir pots, 6-8 weeks before planting out. It’s probably simpler to direct sow in early spring, when a chance of frost is still possible. In mild winter areas, seeds can also be direct sown in the fall. Ideal soil temperature for germination: 12°C (55°F). Seeds should sprout in 7-21 days.

Starting:

Barely cover the tiny seeds. Aim for plant spacing at 10cm (4″). Tighter spacing is okay for this small species.

Growing:

Cool, moist, light, well-drained soil is best. Grow in partial shade where summer soils get hot. Plants can die from excessive heat. Nemophila may self sow if conditions are right.

Harvest:
