Growing Instructions:

Preparing Your Seeds:

Stratification (Optional): For improved germination, cold stratify seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks before planting.

How to Sow Seeds:

Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost or directly outdoors in spring after the danger of frost has passed.
Sowing: Scatter seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in. Cover very lightly with soil or vermiculite as they need some light to germinate.

Germination Process:

Temperature: Maintain soil temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.
Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically takes 14-21 days.

Transplanting Seedlings:

Timing: Transplant seedlings after they have developed their second set of true leaves and are strong enough to handle.
Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart to allow for their mature size and spreading habit.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to maintain consistent moisture. Avoid waterlogging.
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and trim back any damaged or diseased foliage to maintain plant health.
