Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special seed preparation is required. However, soaking the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting can enhance germination rates.
Sowing:
Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in well-draining, moist potting mix or directly in the garden bed. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination process. Place the seed trays or pots in a location with indirect light or partial shade.
Germination:
Germination usually takes 14-21 days. Maintain a consistent temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) for optimal germination. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination by misting regularly.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they have developed several sets of true leaves. Choose a location with partial to full shade and well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for mature growth.
Care and Maintenance:
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant appearance. Protect plants from strong winds and hot afternoon sun, especially in warmer climates, to prevent wilting and leaf scorch.
