Planting and Care Instructions

Seed Preparation and Sowing

Direct Sowing (Best for Outdoor Growth):

• Sow seeds in early spring after the last frost or in fall for early blooms next season.
• Scatter seeds lightly on the soil surface—do not cover them, as they need light to germinate.
• Keep soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days.

Starting Indoors (For Early Blooms):

• Begin seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost in seed trays with light, well-draining soil.
• Keep in a bright location with temperatures around 65-75°F.
• Transplant outdoors when seedlings are 2-3 inches tall and weather conditions are favorable.

Maintenance

• Watering: Water moderately; allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer once a month for continuous blooms.
• Pruning: Trim back spent flowers to encourage reblooming.
• Self-Seeding: Can naturalize and return yearly if left undisturbed.

Ideal For

• Flower beds, borders, and edging
• Container gardening and hanging baskets
• Pollinator-friendly landscapes
