Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soaking                         : Optional but beneficial, soak seeds in water for 4-6 hours before planting to speed up germination.

Sowing:

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

Seed Depth                  : Sprinkle seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in; do not cover, as they need light to germinate.

Spacing                        : Thin or transplant seedlings to 10-12 inches apart once they have at least two sets of true leaves.

Germination:

Temperature : Maintain soil temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.

Moisture : Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination.

Light : Provide bright light or full sun exposure for seedlings.

Transplanting:

Timing                     : Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost when they are 3-4 inches tall.

Spacing                   : Space plants 10-12 inches apart in the garden or containers.

Soil                         : Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil and receives full sunlight.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering : Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods.

Pruning : Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant appearance.

Mulching : Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Where flowers bloom, so does hope.

Happy gardening!
