Planting & Care Instructions

Seed Sowing & Germination

1. Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly in spring after frost danger has passed.
2. Germination: Press seeds lightly into the soil without covering them; they require light to sprout.
3. Temperature: Keep soil at 65-70°F; germination typically occurs in 14-21 days.

Transplanting & Growth

• Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, transplant them into garden beds or containers.
• Space plants 6-12 inches apart for proper spreading and air circulation.
• Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil.

Maintenance & Care

• Watering: Water occasionally; allow soil to dry between waterings.
• Fertilization: Apply a light, balanced fertilizer in early spring.
• Pruning: Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
• Winter Care: Mulch lightly in colder climates for added protection.
