Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days at 65-75°F. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant into individual pots and gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions. Plant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued bloom. In colder zones, grow in containers and bring indoors before the first frost, or treat as an annual. Prune lightly to maintain a compact shape.
