Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade or till the soil 6-8 inches deep. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots. If the soil is heavy or clay-like, mix in some sand or compost to improve drainage. Optionally, form rows of soil beds 4-6 inches high and at least 2 feet apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage, ensure good airflow, and make harvesting for cut flowers easier. Lay down 1\/2\"-3\/4\" peat moss, sawdust, or potting soil, the soil surface. This layer is beneficial for flower seeds because it can the improve the germination environment and prevent soil crusting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanting:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors: \u003c\/b\u003eFor earlier blooms, you may optionally start planting indoors in containers 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date in Spring, keeping seedlings at least 65F. Harden off then transplant seedlings outdoors in a sunny location when temperatures are consistently above 60F. To transplant seedlings, prepare a transplant hole outdoors in a sunny location. Remove the plants carefully from the pots or flats and set them in the transplant holes, burying some of the stem in the ground. Pack the soil loosely around the plant and leave a slightly sunken area around each plant to hold water. Water the plants after transplanting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eDirectly Sowing:\u003c\/b\u003e If directly sowing outdoors, plant billy buttons in late spring when the soil warms to at least 60F. Fall planting is not recommended unless planting outdoors in environments with mild, frost-free winters, or planting indoors with supplemental grow lights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTo plant, make holes 1\/8 inch deep and spaced 12-18 inches apart down the rows of raised beds. Plant 2-3 seeds per hole, then cover thinly with soil. In small plots, billy button seeds may be scattered and gently watered in. Once seedlings emerge, plants can separated and spaced 12-18 inches apart to allow room for mature plants to spread and prevent overcrowding.

Water sparingly, only during prolonged dry spells, and avoid overwatering. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and remove any yellowing foliage to keep the plant looking tidy. Craspedia benefits from occasional light fertilization with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer, especially if grown in poor soil. Providing good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues, and minimal staking may be needed for taller flower stems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TomorrowSeeds","offers":[{"title":"1000+ Count","offer_id":52576177783081,"sku":"FSBILLY","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3000+ Count","offer_id":52576177815849,"sku":"FSBILLY-3x","price":13.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6000+ Count","offer_id":52576177848617,"sku":"FSBILLY-6x","price":17.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/0248\/7960\/files\/FSBILLY_FSBILLY_1.png?v=1770308198","url":"https:\/\/tomorrowseeds.com\/zh\/products\/yellow-billy-button-craspedia","provider":"TomorrowSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
