Centaurea is a genus of between 350 and 600 species of herbaceous thistle-like flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.Knapweeds are robust weedy plants. Their leaves, spiny in some species, are usually deeply divided into elongated lobes at least in the plants lower part, becoming entire towards the top. The flowers (actually pseudanthium inflorescences) are diverse in colour, ranging from intense blues, reds and yellows to any mixture of these and lighter shades towards white. Often, the disk flowers are much darker or lighter than the ray flowers, which also differ in morphology and are sterile.

True berries, or baccae, may also be required to have a thin outer skin, not self-supporting when removed from the berry. This distinguishes, for example, a Vaccinium or Solanum berry from an Adansonia (baobab) amphisarca, which has a dry, more rigid and self-supporting skin.[8] The fruit of citrus, such as the orange, kumquat and lemon, is a berry with a thick rind and a very juicy interior divided into segments by septae, that is given the special name hesperidium.[8] Another specialized term is also used for some Cucurbitaceae fruits, which are modified to have a hard outer rind, but are not internally divided by septae. These are given the special name pepo.[8] While pepos are most common in the Cucurbitaceae, the fruits of Passiflora and Carica are sometimes also considered pepos.

1.Use Seedling trays and cocopeat for better germination rate.2.Plant in a sunny location. Vegetables need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The more sunlight they receive, the greater the harvest and the better the taste.3.Plant in good soil. Plants roots penetrate soft soil easily, so you need nice loamy soil. Enriching your soil with compost provides needed nutrients. Proper drainage will ensure that water neither collects on top nor drains away too quickly.4.Space your crops properly. Plants set too close together compete for sunlight, water, and nutrition and fail to mature. Pay attention to the spacing guidance with plant tabs.Sowing seeds in the ground is the method of growing your plants from seed sown right in the garden There are no special equipments and pots needed.
