Sowing Advice
Indoors: Sow in autumn and spring. Sow in cell packs, in moist seed raising mix. Cover with 6mm of fine soil and firm lightly. Germinate at 10-15 °C for 14-28 days . Grow seedlings on at cooler temps to prevent rapid soft growth. Centaureas do not transplant well so grow in cell pots to minimise root disturbance when transplanting.
