Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the growing medium moist but not soggy and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a bright, cool location. Harden off before planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep plants evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks to support continuous blooming. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and to keep plants looking tidy. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.
