Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and press them gently; do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in a bright, cool location.

After the danger of frost has passed, harden off the seedlings and transplant them outdoors, spacing 12-18 inches apart. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Tall varieties like Rocket may benefit from staking in windy areas.
