Seed Preparation

Sowing

• Timing: Sow seeds in early spring or late summer for optimal growth.

• Method:

  • Direct sow seeds into prepared soil outdoors.

  • Alternatively, start seeds indoors in seed trays filled with a light seed-starting mix.

  • For indoor sowing, transplant seedlings outdoors once they develop 2-3 sets of true leaves.

Germination

• Temperature: Maintain a consistent soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C).

• Moisture: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering.

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light for indoor seedlings.

Transplanting

• Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, ensuring they are 4-6 inches tall.

• Spacing: Space plants 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) apart to allow adequate room for growth.

Care and Maintenance

1. Watering:

   • Water regularly but let the top inch of soil dry between waterings to prevent root rot.

2. Fertilizing:

   • Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

3. Pruning:

   • Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and maintain plant health.

4. Mulching:

   • Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Happy Gardening!
