Planting Instructions:

Transplanting:

• Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them outside after the last frost. Space plants 12-18 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to help retain moisture and reduce weeds.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooms and prevent self-seeding.
• Winter Care: In colder climates, add mulch around the base for protection during winter.
