Planting & Care Instructions
Seed Sowing & Germination
Indoor Sowing (Recommended for Early Blooms):
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost
Sow on the surface of moist soil; do not cover as they need light to germinate
Maintain temperatures around 65-70°F
Keep soil consistently moist; germination takes 14-21 days
Transplant outdoors after the last frost
Direct Outdoor Sowing:
Sow in early spring or fall in a moist, prepared garden bed
Scatter seeds lightly and gently press into the soil without covering
Keep soil damp until germination occurs
Growing & Maintenance
Spacing: 12-24 inches apart to allow airflow
Watering: Prefers wet soil but can tolerate drier conditions once mature
Fertilization: Minimal; thrives in nutrient-rich, organic soils
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to prevent excessive reseeding
Winter Care: Cut back in late fall or early spring for fresh growth
Important Consideration
Invasive Potential: Lythrum salicaria is known to spread aggressively in some regions, especially wetlands. Before planting, check local regulations and consider sterile or controlled varieties to prevent ecological impact.
