Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. However, lightly scuffing the seed coat with sandpaper can enhance germination rates.

Sowing:

Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date when the soil has warmed to at least 70°F (21°C).
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix.
Space seeds 6-12 inches apart for bushier plants and better air circulation.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days.
Maintain a consistent soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and they have developed at least two sets of true leaves.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Plant seedlings 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant appearance.
