Planting & Care
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening off. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong the blooming season.
