Planting and Care Instructions

Seed Preparation & Sowing

• Best Time to Sow: Early spring after the last frost
• Sowing Method:
  • Soak seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours before planting to speed up germination
  • Sow seeds ½ inch deep and 10-12 inches apart in well-draining soil
  • Keep soil moist until germination (7-14 days)

Maintenance

• Watering: Water sparingly; overly rich soil and excess watering reduce flower production
• Fertilization: Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they promote leafy growth over blooms
• Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming
• Support: If grown as a climber, provide trellises or fences for support
• Pest Resistance: Naturally deters aphids and other harmful insects, making it a great companion plant

Ideal For

• Garden borders and flower beds
• Hanging baskets and containers
• Trellises, fences, and ground cover
