Sowing instructions

If you want to grow Dipsacus asper seeds, also known as wild or rough teasel, there are a few important steps to consider. Dipsacus asper is known for its distinctive, cone-shaped inflorescences and is often prized in gardens and natural gardens. Here are some tips for sowing:

1. Choice of location: Rough teasel prefers a sunny to semi-shady location with well-drained soil.
2. Soil preparation: Loosen the soil thoroughly and remove weeds and large stones. Dipsacus asper thrives best in well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH value.
3. Sowing time: Sow the seeds in spring or early summer when the soil temperatures are warm enough. Spread the seeds evenly over the soil surface and cover them lightly with soil.
4. Germination: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not wet. Germination can take a few weeks, so be patient.
