Planting & Care Instructions

Seed Sowing & Germination

1. Cold Stratification (Recommended for Best Results)
   • Place seeds in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag.
   • Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks to improve germination.
2. Sowing Time: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly in early spring or fall.
3. Sowing Depth: Lightly press seeds onto the soil surface; do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
4. Moisture & Light: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged; provide temperatures of 65-75°F for germination.
5. Germination Time: Typically 21-30 days under optimal conditions.

Transplanting & Growth

• Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, transplant them 12-18 inches apart in well-draining soil.
• Choose a location with morning sun and afternoon shade for best results.

Maintenance & Care

• Watering: Maintain moderate moisture; do not let soil dry out completely.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around plants to retain moisture and regulate temperature.
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage reblooming.
• Winter Care: In colder zones, add a light mulch layer for protection.
