Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant 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 during establishment, then water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, apply a light mulch in winter to protect the crown. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor.
