Planting & Care
Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting. Cover seeds lightly with soil and keep the growing medium evenly moist until germination. Once seedlings are established, thin or transplant them to the recommended spacing to encourage good air circulation.
Water regularly at the base of the plants, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Apply a balanced fertilizer sparingly, as too much nitrogen can reduce flowering. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continued flower production and keep the garden tidy.
