Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. Ensure seeds are fresh and not expired.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or direct sow outdoors after the last frost.

Sow seeds on the surface of moist soil and lightly press them in.

Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs.

Germination:

Germination usually takes 7-14 days when kept at a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C).

Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, thin them to 6-8 inches apart if starting indoors.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and when they have developed a good root system.

Space plants 6-8 inches apart in well-prepared, fertile soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

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

Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

Winter Care: In colder climates, apply a layer of mulch over the plants to protect them during winter.
