Planting Instructions

1. Seed Preparation

   • No special preparation is required. However, starting seeds indoors can improve germination rates and plant establishment.

2. Sowing

   • Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Fill seed trays or pots with a seed-starting mix and sow seeds on the surface, pressing them lightly into the soil. Do not cover seeds completely, as they need light to germinate.

   • Outdoor Sowing: After the last frost date, sow seeds directly in the garden. Sow seeds on the soil surface and press lightly into the soil, ensuring they are not completely covered.

3. Germination

   • Seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days under optimal conditions.

   • Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and ensure consistent moisture by misting the soil surface regularly.

4. Transplanting

   • Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they have at least two sets of true leaves.

   • Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions by hardening them off over a week. Transplant them into well-drained soil, spaced 12-18 inches apart.

5. Care and Maintenance

   • Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage.

   • Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

   • Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming.

Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.
