Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is required. However, stratifying the seeds in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks can improve germination rates if desired.
Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Use a seed-starting mix and sow seeds on the surface of the soil, pressing them lightly but not covering them as they need light to germinate. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination. If direct sowing outdoors, wait until after the last frost date and scatter seeds on the soil surface, lightly pressing them in.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Transplanting:
When seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, they can be transplanted outdoors. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week. Space the seedlings 6-8 inches apart in garden beds or containers.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water at the base of the plants to prevent fungal diseases. Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant appearance.
