Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in prepared beds after danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days.

Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or space them 12-18 inches apart in the garden. Water regularly during dry spells, and apply a balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. In colder zones, provide winter protection with a layer of mulch.
