Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratify seeds by placing them in a moist medium (like damp peat moss or sand) and refrigerating for 8-12 weeks before planting. This mimics winter conditions and improves germination rates.

Sowing:

After stratification, sow seeds indoors in seed trays or pots filled with a seed-starting mix.
Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, but do not cover them completely as they need light to germinate.
Maintain a soil temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C).

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 4-8 weeks under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period but avoid waterlogging.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date and once they have developed a few true leaves.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Plant seedlings 18-24 inches apart in a location with partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Support: Tall varieties may require staking to support the flower spikes.
Pruning: Remove spent flower spikes to encourage new growth and maintain plant appearance.
