VI. Florescence management

Cornflower can naturally send out lateral branches, if there are more lateral branches, the flowers are smaller, and if necessary, part of the lateral buds can be removed, leaving only smaller branches, larger flowers can be obtained.

The cornflower is sown in a prepared seedbed, cover the soil with no seeds, slightly compact, cover with grass and water, keep the soil moist, and remove the cover grass after the cornflower germinates. The cornflower sprouted rapidly and grew very fast. When the diameter of the seedling reached 10-15cm, the plant spacing was 20cm and the row spacing was about 40cm.

When the corn chrysanthemum is cultivated in the greenhouse, the flower buds begin in February. When the cornflower is in full bloom, it should be picked every other day, otherwise the color will become lighter. Once the inflorescence of Chrysanthemum morifolium is dry, seeds can be collected. Spring sowing early, ground thawing can be planted, flowering in June, withered in hot summer, short flowering period and poor growth. Therefore, spring sowing is not as good as autumn sowing. Open fields sown in autumn need to be covered to prevent the cold from overwintering.
