Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

If planting bulbs, soak them in water for a few hours before planting to hydrate them.

Sowing:

Plant bulbs or seeds in the fall, after the last frost date, in a location with well-drained soil.
For bulbs, plant them 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm) deep and space them 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) apart.
For seeds, sow them 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting trays or directly in the garden.

Germination:

Germination of bulbs typically occurs within a few weeks after planting, while seeds may take longer.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

Once bulbs or seedlings have established roots and are large enough to handle, transplant them to their final growing location.
Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
Space plants 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) apart for bulbs or thin seedlings to this spacing after they've developed.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering as it can cause bulbs to rot.
Mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
In colder climates, protect bulbs with a layer of mulch during winter to prevent frost damage.
