Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation
Pre-treatment: Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours before sowing to enhance germination.
Sowing
Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the last frost date.
Depth: Sow seeds 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep in seed-starting mix or directly into garden soil.
Spacing: Space seeds or seedlings 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) apart to allow for growth.
Germination
Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 65 to 70°F (18 to 21°C) for optimal germination.
Duration: Seeds typically germinate within 14 to 21 days.
Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Transplanting
Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have at least two sets of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed.
Location: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
Care and Maintenance
Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season.
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids and slugs and treat as necessary using organic or chemical controls.
