Product Details:

Talinum paniculatum 'Jewels of Opar' Seeds offer delicate beauty and sustainable gardening solutions. This charming plant reaches a mature height of 12 to 24 inches, thriving in both full sun and partial shade. It prefers well-drained, sandy loam soil, making it versatile for borders, containers, and ground cover applications.

Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Scarify the seeds by lightly rubbing them with sandpaper or soaking them in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. This helps improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds directly into prepared, well-drained soil after the last frost date in spring.

Place seeds 1/4 inch deep and 6-12 inches apart to allow for adequate growth space.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination, which typically occurs within 10-14 days.

Maintain a temperature of around 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough, transplant them into their final growing positions.

Space transplants 12-18 inches apart to accommodate their mature size.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist but not saturated.

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and prevent self-seeding.

Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weed growth.

Happy Gardening!
