Planting & Care
For best results, 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 consistently moist but not soggy, and maintain a temperature around 65–70°F. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant to the garden.
Alternatively, sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, barely covering them with soil. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep plants growing vigorously, and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.
