Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow after the danger of frost has passed when the soil is warm. In frost-free climates, planting can be timed around suitable warm growing conditions.

Sowing: Sow directly in prepared garden soil or start seeds indoors before transplanting. Scatter seeds over the soil and cover them lightly.

Depth: Plant approximately one-quarter inch deep. Avoid planting too deeply.

Spacing: Provide approximately eight to eighteen inches between plants, depending on the mature size of the variety.

Sunlight: Grow in full sun with several hours of direct sunlight each day.

Soil: Choose fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water remains around the roots.

Watering: Keep newly planted seeds consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Once established, water regularly while allowing excess moisture to drain.

Germination: Under favorable conditions, seedlings may emerge within approximately four to seven days.

Transplanting: When starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after frost danger has passed. Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions before permanent planting.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer according to the product label when needed. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote foliage rather than abundant flowering.

Care: Remove weeds around young plants, maintain good airflow, and remove spent flowers to keep plants tidy.

Flowering/Maturity: Flowering time varies according to species, cultivar, temperature, and growing conditions. With appropriate care, plants can provide an attractive seasonal flower display.
