Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation required. For faster germination, seeds can be soaked in water for a few hours before planting.
Sowing:
Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-draining seed-starting mix or garden soil. Space seeds 6-12 inches apart depending on the variety and desired density.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions. Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best results. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Transplanting:
If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and they have 2-3 sets of true leaves. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week. Plant seedlings 6-12 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent seed production.
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.
