Cultivation Advice

Cerinthe seeds are best sown individually. Soak seeds overnight before sowing.

Sow under cover between February and April (around 6 weeks before your last frost date) for a summer flowering or in August and September (around 6 weeks before your first frost date) for an early spring flowering the following year.

Sow on to very moist compost and cover with 10mm with vermiculite. Propagate at 18-20°C. Germination takes 10 to 20 days. Maintain a temperature of 15C for approximately 2 weeks after germination before lowering the temperature to 10C. 

Grow Cerinthe in moist but well-drained soil in full sun.
