Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10–21 days at 65–70°F. Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to the recommended spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the garden, choose a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or allow some flowers to go to seed for natural reseeding. Nodding Catchfly is generally pest-free and deer-resistant, making it a low-maintenance addition to any garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Nodding Catchfly seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739760951606,"sku":"EDNA-305","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8058048327_taje.jpg?v=1792115311","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-nodding-catchfly-seeds-pink-heirloom-flower-for-gardens-hanging-baskets-ground-cover","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
