Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratify the seeds by placing them in a moist medium (like sand or peat moss) and refrigerating them for 6-8 weeks before sowing. This cold treatment helps to break dormancy and improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds in late winter or early spring indoors, or directly outdoors after the last frost.

For indoor sowing, plant seeds in seed trays filled with a sterile seed-starting mix, covering them lightly with soil.

For outdoor sowing, scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination, which can take 20-30 days.

Maintain a temperature of 55-65°F (13-18°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

When seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them to their permanent location, spacing them 18-24 inches apart.

Choose a site with partial shade to full sun and rich, well-drained soil.

Care and Maintenance:

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

Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Stake the plants if necessary to provide support and prevent them from toppling over.

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.

Happy Gardening!
