Planting Instructions:

• Seed Preparation:
  Stratify the seeds by placing them in a moist medium (like sand or peat moss) and refrigerating them for 6-8 weeks before sowing. This cold treatment helps to break dormancy and improve germination rates.

• Sowing:

  • Indoor Sowing: Sow the seeds in late winter or early spring indoors in seed trays filled with a sterile seed-starting mix. Cover them lightly with soil.

  • Outdoor Sowing: After the last frost, scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil.

• Germination:
  Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination, which can take 20-30 days.
  Maintain a temperature of 55-65°F (13-18°C) for optimal germination.

• Transplanting:
  Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them to their permanent location. Space plants 18-24 inches apart.
  Choose a site with partial shade to full sun and rich, well-drained soil.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods.

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

• Support: Stake the plants if necessary to provide support and prevent them from toppling over.

• Deadheading: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.

Happy Gardening!
