Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly in the garden after danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing. Provide afternoon shade in hot climates to prevent stress.
Water regularly during dry spells, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In colder zones, apply a light mulch in winter to protect the crowns. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor.
