Growing Non-GMO Angelonia Serena Flower Seeds

Forgo direct sowing these seeds and start them indoors 6-8 weeks before the final frost for optimal results. Scatter the seeds and lightly press them into the growing medium (seed starting formula is best). These seeds need light, 70-75°F temperatures, and plenty of moisture to germinate. Once the seedlings have emerged, they will need tons of light. A very bright windowsill (providing about 16 hours per day of sun) or grow lights are the most effective. If using grow lights, use fluorescent or LED so the plants can be very close to the light without overheating. Be sure to provide about 8 hours of darkness.

Thin out to only have the best seedlings once they have four true leaves. Use a low-strength yet balanced fertilizer (half-strength) when they are about four weeks old. After this step, if the temperatures are warm enough outside(at least 55°F at night), they can be hardened off and transitioned outdoors. Ensure that the area they transplant into has plenty of organic matter worked into the soil. After planting out in the garden, there is no need to fertilize.

Once the seedlings are about 5 inches tall, mulch around the base to suppress weeds and lock in moisture. It is best to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Deadhead the spent blooms regularly to encourage more flowers. If growing as an annual, remove the entire plant at the end of the season. If you choose to fertilize through the season, use a low-strength option and apply it carefully to avoid burn.
