How to plant Lythrum salicina seeds

1. Planting time

Sowing can be done twice a year, and the time from sowing to flowering is not very long. If sown in April-June, the flowers will bloom gradually in July-August. The second half of the year can be chosen from September to October, so that the flowers will bloom around November.

2. Sowing Methods

1. It is recommended to purchase seeds of good quality to ensure the quality in the later stage.

2. Choose loam with loose texture and good drainage, preferably rich in nutrients to provide a basis for growth.

3. Select the seeds, mix them evenly with fine soil, and evenly sow them into the loam. Control the planting density well. Too high a density will affect the recovery time and cause poor growth. If the density is too small, weeds will multiply, which is not conducive to later maintenance, so the density should be controlled at 16-25 plants/square meter. Cover with 2.5 cm of fine soil.

4. After completion, pour an appropriate amount of water into the loam and cover it with hay to help retain moisture.

5. The seeds will germinate 10-15 days after sowing. Then remove the hay and wait until the seedlings grow to about 25cm before transplanting.
