How to Seed Cloud Grass (Agrostis nebulosa)

1. Sowing Time:
   Sow indoors from March to May, or directly outdoors once the danger of frost has passed. In mild climates, you can also sow in autumn (September–October) for early spring growth.

2. Sowing Depth:
   Scatter the seeds on the surface of moist, fine soil and press lightly — do not cover, as light aids germination.

3. Soil:
   Prefers light, well-drained soil. Avoid heavy or clay soils. Cloud Grass grows well in sandy or loamy soils with moderate fertility.

4. Light & Temperature:
   Choose a sunny or lightly shaded position. Ideal germination temperature is 15–20 °C (59–68 °F).

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

6. Transplanting:
   When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin or transplant them to 15–20 cm apart. For natural-looking displays, sow directly where they are to grow.

7. Growing Tips:

   • Water gently but regularly until seedlings are established.

   • Once mature, Cloud Grass prefers dry, sunny conditions and requires little maintenance.

   • Avoid overfertilizing; poor soil produces finer, more graceful flower heads.

   • The plant forms airy, cloud-like flower sprays, ideal for cut or dried flower arrangements and adding soft texture to borders.
