Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a location with well-drained soil and water regularly during dry spells. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and maintain plant vigor. Divide clumps every few years to rejuvenate growth.
