FREE: Yellow Drumstick flower 20 seeds

The listing, Yellow Drumstick flower 20 seeds has ended.

Craspedia globosa, also known as drumstick flower or Billy Buttons, produces a golden-yellow display of spherical flowers that often reach the size of tennis balls. Its most current scientific name is Pycnosorus globosus. The silvery-gray foliage reaches about 2 feet tall and wide, and the flowers bloom almost all year long in warmer climates. They're nearly care free, tolerate most types of soil and require little more than occasional watering. They aren't susceptible to pests or diseases. Drumstick flowers are grown as perennials in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 11, and as annuals elsewhere.
1 - Select a weed-free location that receives full, direct sunlight. Begin after all threat of frost has passed, in late February or early March.
2 - Rake the planting bed to lightly scratch the surface of the soil when planting seeds. There's no need to till the soil, because drumstick flowers tolerate heavy soil.
3 - Sprinkle seeds liberally over the surface of the prepared bed, and cover them lightly with soil, peat moss or sand. Water seeds and keep them lightly moist until they germinate. Space transplants 12 inches apart. Dig holes for each plant at the same depth and width as the root ball. Place the transplants in the ground and cover them with soil to the base of the plant. Lightly tamp down the soil.
4 - Sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons of 5-10-5 granulated slow-release fertilizer evenly around the transplants every 10 square feet. Rake it lightly into the top inch of the soil, and water it in. Don't let the fertilizer touch the base of the plants. Don't apply the fertilizer to the seeds until they have two sets of true leaves. Drumstick flowers don't require heavy fertilization, so one application of fertilizer is enough to last the whole growing season.
5 - Water the plants or seeds whenever the soil feels dry at a depth of 1 inch. Avoid wetting the foliage while watering. There's no need to deadhead or trim the flower.
