Growing Tips
- Prepare a weed-free planting area before scattering the seed mix.
- Press seeds gently into the soil so they have good seed-to-soil contact.
- Keep the surface consistently moist while seedlings are becoming established.
- Avoid excessive fertilizer, which can encourage leafy growth over flowering.
Seed Storage
Store unused seeds in their original package or a sealed, moisture-resistant container. Keep them in a cool, dry, dark location away from heat and humidity. Avoid storing seeds where temperature and moisture fluctuate frequently.
