3. Germination: Seeds sprout in 10-21 days at 65-75°F.

Transplanting & Growth

• Once seedlings develop 2-3 sets of true leaves, transplant them 12-18 inches apart.
• Provide full sun exposure to maximize flowering.

Maintenance & Care

• Watering: Water regularly during establishment, then reduce as plants become drought-tolerant.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer in early spring for stronger blooms.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
• Winter Care: In colder climates, mulch around the base for added protection.
