Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors in a seed-starting mix, pressing them gently into the surface and covering lightly. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish, then reduce frequency as they become more drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In cooler zones, treat as an annual or overwinter containers indoors.
