Shelf Life: Best planted within 1 year for maximum germination potential.
Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Soaking: While no special preparation is required, soaking the seeds in water for a few hours before planting can help soften the seed coat and improve germination.
Sowing:
Timing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Soil: Use seed-starting trays filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix for indoor planting.
Depth: Plant seeds 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep and lightly cover with soil.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging.
Temperature: Maintain a temperature of around 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
Germination:
Time: Germination typically occurs within 10-14 days under optimal conditions.
Spacing: Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, thin them to ensure proper spacing, typically 12-18 inches apart.
Transplanting:
Timing: After the last frost date, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing them according to their mature size.
Location: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil for the best results.
Soil: Amend the soil with compost or organic matter to improve fertility and drainage.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering or waterlogging.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
Support: Provide support for taller varieties to prevent them from flopping over, particularly in windy conditions.
