Shelf Life: Best planted within 1 year for maximum germination
Planting Instructions
Seed Preparation
Store seeds in a cool, dry place until ready to plant.
No pre-treatment is necessary, but soaking seeds in lukewarm water for a few hours before planting can enhance germination.
Sowing
Timing: Start seeds indoors 12-14 weeks before the last frost date.
Medium: Use a sterile seed-starting mix.
Depth: Sow seeds on the soil's surface; do not cover as they need light to germinate.
Spacing: Space seeds 1-2 inches apart in trays.
Germination
Temperature: Maintain a consistent temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Light: Provide indirect light or use a grow light.
Time: Germination typically occurs within 14-21 days.
Transplanting
Timing: Transplant seedlings when they have at least two true leaves and the risk of frost has passed.
Location: Choose a site with partial to full shade.
Spacing: Space plants 12-15 inches (30-38 cm) apart.
Care and Maintenance
Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
Winter Care: In colder climates, dig up tubers after the first frost, dry them, and store in a cool, dark place for replanting in spring. In warmer climates, they can be left in the ground.
