Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors in a sterile seed-starting mix. Press seeds gently into the surface and cover lightly with vermiculite or fine soil. Keep the medium consistently moist and provide warmth (70-75°F). Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and grow on in a bright, sunny location.

After the danger of frost has passed, harden off seedlings and transplant to the garden in full sun. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, but avoid overhead watering to prevent crown rot. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In cooler zones, lift plants before frost or grow as annuals.
