growing cockscomb flowers

Question

I have read in planting cockscomb seeds to use just 3 or 4 in one place. I can’ imagine
that is near enough since they are so tiny. I have also read the term sprinkle..so what’ll
I do? thanks for any info Don 301-349-2197

Answer 1

Don't judge a seed by its size. You generally want to space the (mature) plants 8-12 inches apart. If the directions say sow 3 to 4 seeds, they mean 3 to 4 seeds per hole. When the seedlings develop a second set of leaves, you'll want to thin each group of seedlings down to 1 plant per hole.
