Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak Seeds: Soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.

Scarification (Optional): Lightly nick or sand the seed coat to help water penetrate and promote faster germination.

Sowing:

Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden after the last frost.

Location: Choose a sunny spot in your garden or a container with adequate drainage.

Depth: Sow seeds 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep in well-draining soil.

Spacing: Space seeds about 6 inches (15 cm) apart to allow for growth.

Germination:

Temperature: Maintain a soil temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C).

Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a misting spray to water gently.

Timeframe: Seeds typically germinate in 10-14 days.

Transplanting:

Hardening Off: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions by placing them outside for a few hours each day over a week.

Planting: Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them into the garden or larger containers, maintaining the 6-inch spacing.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and maintain plant health.

Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for pests such as aphids and slugs. Use appropriate organic or chemical controls if needed. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
