Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Stratification (Optional): For better germination, cold stratify the seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag. Refrigerate for 2-4 weeks before sowing.

Sowing:

When to Sow: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Seed Depth: Sow seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil. Do not cover them, as they need light to germinate.

Spacing: Space seeds about 12 inches apart in rows.

Germination:

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

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Time to Germinate: Seeds typically germinate in 14-21 days.

Transplanting:

Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date when they have at least two sets of true leaves.

Location: Choose a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil.

Planting: Dig holes large enough for the root ball, space plants 12-18 inches apart, and water well after planting.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering. Purple horehound is drought-tolerant once established.

Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and trim back in early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
