Planting & Care

Sow None So Pretty Catchfly seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, or start them indoors 4–6 weeks earlier for an earlier bloom. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate, so do not cover them deeply. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10–20 days at around 65–70°F. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to the recommended spacing to encourage healthy growth.

These plants are relatively carefree once established. Water during extended dry spells, especially while plants are young. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming, or allow some flowers to go to seed for self-sowing. Catchfly is generally pest and disease resistant, making it a great choice for low-maintenance gardens.
