Planting & Care
Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-21 days.
Once seedlings have developed true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
