Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors in late winter or early spring. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and barely cover the seeds with soil. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination can be slow and erratic, often taking several weeks to months. Once seedlings have developed true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a bright, frost-free location. Harden off before planting outdoors after the last frost.
For best results, plant in a location with good air circulation and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the growing season, but reduce watering after blooming. Mulch around the base to keep roots cool and moist. In colder zones, provide winter protection or lift bulbs and store them in a frost-free place.
