Planting & Care
Start seeds indoors in late winter or early spring. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and sow seeds about 1/8 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Provide bottom heat or a warm location to encourage germination, which typically occurs in 14-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a bright, sunny spot.
After the danger of frost has passed, harden off the seedlings and plant them outdoors in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf diseases. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. In cooler climates, plants can be overwintered indoors or treated as annuals.
