Pollinators such as bees and butterflies are attracted to the nectar-rich blooms, enhancing garden biodiversity.

Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover completely as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the medium consistently moist but not soggy. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots and grow on in a bright, cool location before hardening off and planting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
In the garden, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks for best performance. In hot climates, some afternoon shade is beneficial.
