Planting Instructions:

• Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required; however, soaking seeds overnight can sometimes aid germination.
• Sowing: Directly sow seeds outdoors in early spring after the last frost date or in early autumn for spring blooms. Scatter seeds lightly over prepared soil or gently press them into the soil surface.
• Germination: Germination typically occurs within 10-15 days when soil temperatures are around 60-70°F (15-21°C). Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination.
• Transplanting: Once seedlings are a few inches tall and have developed true leaves, thin them to about 6-12 inches apart to allow for proper growth.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Water young plants regularly, but reduce watering once they are established to promote drought tolerance.
• Deadheading: Deadhead spent flowers to prolong the blooming period.
• Winter Care: In colder climates, mulching around plants in late fall can protect roots over winter.
