Growing Instructions

Planting Season

Start seeds indoors in spring or sow outdoors after the danger of severe frost has passed. In mild climates, autumn sowing may also be suitable.

Sowing and Depth

Use a fine, well-draining seed-starting mix. Scatter seeds over the surface and press them gently into the soil. Cover only very lightly, as seeds may benefit from exposure to light.

Spacing

When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin or transplant them to allow roughly one foot of space between mature plants.

Sunlight and Soil

Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Avoid heavy, waterlogged ground, which can damage roots.

Watering

Keep the growing medium evenly moist during germination. Once established, water when the soil begins to dry, adjusting for rainfall and local conditions.

Germination

Germination can be variable and may take several weeks or longer. Maintain steady moisture and suitable temperatures, and avoid disturbing the seeds while they establish.

Transplanting

Move seedlings outdoors once they have developed several true leaves and are strong enough to handle. Harden them off gradually before planting them in their permanent location.

Fertilizing

Prepare the planting area with a modest amount of compost if the soil is poor. Avoid excessive fertilizer, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowering.

Care and Maintenance

Remove weeds around young plants and trim spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance. Provide good air circulation and avoid overwatering.

Flowering and Maturity

Showy calamint generally flowers during summer. Flowering time and plant development depend on the climate, growing conditions, and establishment from seed.
