Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation:

Stratification (optional)          : To improve germination rates, you can stratify the seeds. Place seeds in a damp paper towel, seal in a plastic bag, and refrigerate for 4-6 weeks before sowing.

Sowing:

Indoor Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.

Fill seed trays or pots with a good quality seed starting mix.

Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them down, do not cover with soil as they need light to germinate.

Water gently to moisten the soil.

Outdoor Sowing:

Direct sow outdoors in early spring or late fall.

Choose a location with partial shade to full sun.

Sow seeds on the soil surface and press down lightly.

Germination:

Temperature: Maintain a soil temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C).

Time: Germination typically occurs within 2-4 weeks.

Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Indoor Seedlings:

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

Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth.

Acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions by hardening off for 7-10 days before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods.

Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
