Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratification: Place seeds in a damp paper towel, then put them in a plastic bag. Refrigerate for 4-6 weeks to simulate winter conditions.

Pre-soak: After stratification, soak seeds in water for 24 hours before sowing to enhance germination.

Sowing:

Timing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.

Containers: Use seed trays or small pots with seed-starting mix.

Depth: Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep. Cover lightly with soil.

Spacing: Space seeds about 1 inch apart in trays.

Germination:

Temperature: Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.

Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a spray bottle to mist the soil surface if needed.

Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Use a grow light if necessary.

Timeframe: Seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days.

Transplanting:

Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and when they have at least two sets of true leaves.

Hardening Off: Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days. Start with a few hours of sunlight per day, increasing the duration daily.

Spacing: Plant seedlings 12-18 inches apart in the garden.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist. Avoid waterlogging.

Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Prune back in late fall after the blooming season.

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

Happy Gardening!
