Here is the BEST Time to Start Cuckoo Flower Seeds in Nevada (2023 Guide)

Do you want to grow cuckoo flower seeds in Nevada, but don’t know when to start them?

Starting cuckoo flower seeds is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Cuckoo Flower Seeds must be consistently watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.

  • Because Nevada’s growing season is not long enough, cuckoo flower seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.

Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start cuckoo flower seeds indoors in Nevada:

When to Start Cuckoo Flower Seeds Indoors

Depending on the type of cuckoo flower, it takes roughly 90 days to grow cuckoo flower from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden. And it could take 180 days for your cuckoo flower to bloom!

The approximate date of when you should start your cuckoo flower seeds indoors can be found by:

  • Finding the first average frost date HERE
  • And then subtract 90 days from it

You can also find the average first frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:

To help ensure the greatest success of your cuckoo flower seeds germinating you should:

  • Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Use a grow light to control how much light your cuckoo flower seeds receive
  • Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered

It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your cuckoo flower plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your first frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
