Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the hard seed coat and promote germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date or directly into the garden once the soil has warmed.

Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 3-4 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil.

Germination:

Maintain a consistent soil temperature of 55-65°F (13-18°C) for optimal germination, which typically takes 10-14 days.

Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

When seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors.

Space plants 6 inches apart and provide support such as a trellis or fence for climbing.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging.

Pinch out the growing tips of young plants to encourage bushier growth and more flowers.

Remove spent flowers (deadhead) to promote continuous blooming and prevent seed formation.

Happy Gardening!
