How to Seed Ageratum Yellow (Lonas inodora)

1. Sowing Time:
   Sow indoors from February to April, or directly outdoors after the last frost in April–May. Early indoor sowing ensures stronger plants and earlier blooms.

2. Sowing Depth:
   Sow the seeds on the surface of moist soil or compost and press gently — do not cover, as light helps with germination.

3. Soil:
   Use well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Lonas prefers soil that is not too rich but drains freely.

4. Light & Temperature:
   Place the seeds in a bright, sunny, and warm spot with temperatures around 18–22 °C (65–72 °F).

5. Germination Time:
   Seeds germinate within 10–20 days under warm and light conditions.

6. Transplanting:
   When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into garden beds or pots, spacing 25–30 cm apart. Harden off seedlings before planting outdoors.

7. Growing Tips:

   • Choose a full-sun position for best color and flowering.

   • Water regularly but avoid overwatering.

   • Deadhead faded flowers to encourage continuous blooms.

   • The Ageratum Yellow (Lonas inodora) produces bright golden-yellow button-like flowers that bloom all summer long — perfect for borders, cottage gardens, and dried flower arrangements.
