Planting & Care Instructions

Seed Sowing & Germination:

• Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in early spring.
• Sow seeds on the surface of moist soil; do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
• Maintain temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C) for best germination.
• Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Germination occurs within 14-30 days.

Growing & Maintenance:

• Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
• Spacing: Plant 12-18 inches apart to allow for mature growth.
• Watering: Water deeply but allow the soil to dry slightly between watering.
• Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring for healthy growth.
• Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and trim dead leaves for a tidy appearance.
• Pest & Disease Control: Generally pest-free but watch for slugs and root rot in overly wet conditions.
