Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratify the seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerate for 30-60 days. This cold treatment helps break seed dormancy and promotes germination.

Sowing:

After stratification, sow the seeds indoors in late winter or early spring.

Fill seed trays or pots with a seed-starting mix and press the seeds into the surface, covering them lightly with soil.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Place the seed trays or pots in a warm location with indirect light.

Germination typically takes 4-8 weeks.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them into their permanent outdoor location.

Choose a site with moist to wet, acidic soil and space plants 12-18 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.

Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms and prevent self-seeding.

Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain plant vigor and prevent overcrowding.

Happy Gardening!
