Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. For faster germination, soak seeds in warm water for a few hours before sowing.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Use seed-starting trays filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix.
Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and press them in lightly, covering with a thin layer of soil.
Water gently to avoid displacing the seeds.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days.
Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) during the germination period.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they have at least two sets of true leaves.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Plant seedlings 8-12 inches apart in well-drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded location.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance.
