Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until germination occurs, which typically takes 14-30 days at 65-75°F (18-24°C). Once seedlings have developed true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, Godfrey's Golden Aster is drought tolerant and requires minimal care. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and to prevent unwanted self-seeding. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Godfrey's Golden Aster seeds (Chrysopsis godfreyi).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795494142262,"sku":"FOLIA2-012","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6737586701_7tjx.jpg?v=1792670524","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/godfreys-golden-aster-seeds-chrysopsis-godfreyi-25-rare-native-wildflower-seeds-for-pollinators","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
