Planting & Care Instructions

Seed Preparation & Sowing

• Sowing Instructions:
  • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the last frost
  • For best results, scarify seeds by gently scratching the seed coat with sandpaper or nicking it with a knife to improve germination
  • Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to help speed up germination
  • Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in a well-draining, nutrient-rich soil mix
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
  • Germination typically takes 14-21 days

Transplanting & Growth

• Once seedlings have several sets of leaves, transplant them outdoors in a sunny location
• Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow room for growth and airflow

Maintenance & Care

• Watering: Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and blooming
• Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering throughout the season
• Winter Care: In colder climates, grow as an annual or mulch around the base to protect roots in winter

Ideal For

• Flower beds and borders, where their vibrant colors stand out
• Pollinator-friendly gardens, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds
• Cut flower gardens, where their tall, colorful spikes are perfect for floral arrangements
