Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the surface of a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature around 65–70°F and keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient.
Once seedlings have several true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, harden them off gradually and transplant outdoors. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering and trim back foliage in late autumn if desired.
