Leonotis Seeds: Detailed Care Guide

1. Seeding:

   • Leonotis, also known as Lion's Ear, can be grown from seeds either indoors or directly outdoors after the last frost.
   • If starting indoors, sow seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow them ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix.
   • Outdoors, plant the seeds ¼ inch deep in well-drained soil.
   • Space the seeds 18-24 inches apart, as Leonotis can grow quite large and bushy.
   • Seeds typically germinate in 10-14 days in warm conditions.

2. Growing:

   • Leonotis grows best in full sun, needing 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming.
   • It can grow up to 3-6 feet tall, with striking orange or white tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
   • Thin seedlings once they are about 3 inches tall to maintain proper spacing.
   • Leonotis is drought-tolerant and thrives in dry, sandy, or rocky soils, but it can adapt to average garden soils as long as they drain well.

3. Care:

   • Leonotis is a low-maintenance plant. Deadheading the flowers (removing spent blooms) can encourage more flowering throughout the season.
   • Fertilization is usually not necessary, but a light application of balanced fertilizer once during the growing season can help promote growth.
   • Prune back the plant at the end of the growing season to maintain its shape and prevent it from becoming too leggy.
   • Leonotis is generally pest-free and disease-resistant, making it easy to grow.

4. Temperature:

   • Leonotis prefers warm temperatures, thriving in the range of 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C).
   • It is sensitive to frost, so it should be planted outdoors only after the last frost has passed.
   • In areas with mild winters, Leonotis can be grown as a perennial. In colder climates, it is typically grown as an annual.

5. Watering:

   • Leonotis is drought-tolerant once established and prefers to be on the dry side.
   • Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
   • Avoid overwatering, as Leonotis doesn’t like waterlogged soil, which can cause root rot. In dry climates, water once a week; in more humid areas, less frequent watering may be needed.
