Growing Guide
Starting indoors (recommended): Sow 10–12 weeks before the last frost for earliest flowers. Seeds are very small — press onto finely prepared, moist soil surface without covering; seeds need light. Keep at 70–75°F; germination in 14–21 days.
Transplanting: Set out after all frost danger has passed; space 6 inches apart. Remove spent flower spikes to encourage continued branching and bloom.
Site & soil: Full sun to partial shade; well-drained soil, pH 5.5–6.5. Prefers consistently moist, rich soil. In hot climates, afternoon shade significantly improves summer performance.
