Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratify seeds by placing them in a moistened paper towel inside a plastic bag.

Refrigerate for 4-6 weeks to simulate winter conditions.

Sowing:

After stratification, sow seeds on the surface of well-draining seed-starting mix.

Press seeds lightly into the soil but do not cover them, as light aids germination.

Water gently to keep the soil moist.

Germination:

Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) during germination.

Germination typically occurs within 3-6 weeks.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted.

Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Plant them in the garden, spacing 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain plant vigor and prevent overcrowding.
