Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist but not waterlogged at around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 14-28 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and harden off before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment and during dry spells. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom and maintain a tidy appearance. Divide clumps every few years to rejuvenate plants.
