Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation: Stratify seeds by placing them in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerating for 30 days before planting to simulate winter conditions and improve germination rates.
Sowing:
Sow seeds directly into the garden or start indoors. If starting indoors, plant seeds in seed trays or pots filled with a seed-starting mix, lightly covering them with soil.
Germination:
Germination typically occurs within 10-30 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 65-70°F). Ensure the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged during this period.
Transplanting:
If started indoors, transplant seedlings to the garden when they have developed a couple of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed. Space plants about 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, especially during dry periods. Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Cut back the stems to the ground in late fall or early spring to promote new growth.
