Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. However, soaking seeds in water for a few hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Use a seed-starting mix and sow seeds on the surface of the soil, lightly pressing them down but not covering them, as they need light to germinate.
Maintain a soil temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted outdoors after the last frost date.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Plant seedlings 12-18 inches apart in well-prepared garden soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Trim back the plants in late summer to promote bushier growth.
Support: Taller varieties may need staking to support the stems and keep them upright.
