Cineraria EP Seeds grow easily from seed but take a long time to mature, so they should be started early indoors about 10 to 12 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds into the surface of the soil and cover to their thickness, as darkness is required for germination. Covering the pots with black plastic is a good idea. Keep the planting medium damp, and once the seeds have sprouted, (about 14 days at 70 degrees F.) Move them to a greenhouse.
A week or so before transplanting into the garden, harden the  seedlings off by putting them in a cold frame or a sheltered spot outdoors during the day.

Growing Requirements for CinerariasCinerarias are not suited for growing in hot dry climates. If you are growing Cinerarias in the garden, they should be grown in partial to full shade, and planted in slightly acidic, rich, well-drained soil with a high compost content. Water regularly and thoroughly to keep the soil evenly moist, but never soggy. Cinerarias readily reseed themselves in the garden. When grown in pots or planters, Cinerarias should be planted in a loose, rich, peat moss based potting mix with good drainage. Once they begin to bloom they prefer to be kept somewhat root-bound. |
