Planting and Care Instructions

Seed Preparation and Sowing

Starting Indoors (Recommended for Best Results):

• Begin seeds 10-12 weeks before the last frost in seed trays with light, well-draining soil.
• Lightly press seeds into the soil without covering them completely, as they need light to germinate.
• Maintain a warm temperature of 70-75°F and mist the soil to keep it evenly moist.
• Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have at least 2-3 sets of true leaves and temperatures are consistently above 50°F.

Direct Sowing (For Warmer Climates):

• Sow seeds outdoors in early spring after the last frost.
• Space seeds 10-12 inches apart in well-prepared soil.
• Keep soil moist until germination occurs.

Maintenance

• Watering: Water regularly but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid soggy conditions.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.
• Pruning: Pinch back stems to promote bushy growth and remove faded flowers for continuous blooming.
• Overwintering: In colder zones, bring potted plants indoors before frost or take cuttings for next season.

Ideal For

• Garden beds and borders
• Potted plants and patio containers
