Planting and Care Instructions

Seed Germination and Sowing

1. Cold Stratification: Store seeds in the refrigerator for 2-4 weeks before planting for best results
2. Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, loamy soil enriched with organic matter
3. Sowing Depth: Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them in; do not cover, as they need light to germinate
4. Watering: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged until germination
5. Temperature: Germinates best at 60-70°F
6. Germination Time: 10-20 days under optimal conditions

Growing and Maintenance

• Light: Requires full sun for best flowering
• Watering: Low water needs; occasional deep watering in extreme drought
• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil; tolerant of sandy and rocky soils
