Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for germination, which typically takes 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. With proper care, Grenadin Double Mix will reward you with a profusion of fragrant, colorful blooms.
