How to Plant Gilly from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
  • Outdoors: Sow directly in early spring or late summer for fall blooms.

Seed Preparation

  • Gillyflower seeds do not require stratification.
  • Soaking seeds in warm water for a few hours before planting may improve germination.

Sowing Seeds

Direct: Prepare the soil by loosening and removing debris. Lightly scatter seeds over the surface and press them into the soil. Keep the area moist until germination occurs. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to 12 inches apart.

Indoor: Use a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Scatter seeds on the surface and lightly cover with a thin layer of soil. Maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C). Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Seeds will germinate in 7-14 days. Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots.

Transplanting Outdoors

  1. Harden off seedlings one week before transplanting.
  2. Choose a well-drained, sunny location.
  3. Space plants 12-18 inches apart.
  4. Water thoroughly after planting.

Pro Tip

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and trim back the plant after flowering to maintain a neat shape.

Bonus: Gilly flowers have a sweet clove-like scent and make wonderful cut flowers for bouquets!

Getting to know your Gilly

Gillyflowers are versatile plants that grow as biennials or short-lived perennials, though they're commonly cultivated as annuals in temperate climates. These long-lasting blooms are particularly valued for cut flower arrangements and bouquets due to their enduring nature and delightful fragrance. As early-season bloomers, gillyflowers play a vital role in supporting local ecosystems by providing nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators during the spring months.
