Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow in spring or early autumn where temperatures remain mild.

Sowing: Fill trays or containers with fine seed-starting mix. Scatter seeds evenly across the surface.

Depth: Do not bury deeply. Gently press seeds into the soil surface.

Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings to allow approximately six to twelve inches between plants.

Sunlight: Provide partial sun or bright filtered light. In warmer climates, afternoon shade is beneficial.

Soil: Grow in fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Do not allow seedlings to dry out.

Germination: Seeds typically germinate within two to four weeks under warm, moist conditions.

Transplanting: Move seedlings carefully once they develop several true leaves and are large enough to handle.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, diluted fertilizer occasionally during active growth.

Care: Remove weeds, maintain even moisture, and trim lightly to encourage dense growth.

Flowering/Maturity: Small lilac to pale purple flowers appear from late spring through summer while the foliage remains attractive throughout the season.
