Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation:
No special seed preparation is required. Ensure seeds are fresh and not damaged.
Sowing:
Outdoor Sowing:
Sow seeds directly into prepared soil after the last frost date.
Lightly press seeds into the soil surface.
Keep soil consistently moist until germination occurs.
Indoor Sowing (Optional):
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.
Use seed starting mix and sow seeds on the surface.
Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) for germination.
Germination:
Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days, depending on soil temperature and conditions.
Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, thin them to allow for proper spacing (usually 12-18 inches apart).
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost when they are well-established and weather permits.
Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering : Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging.
Mulching : Apply a layer of mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Pruning : Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance.
Winter Care : In colder climates, apply a layer of mulch around the plants in late fall to protect the roots during winter.
