Growing Guide

Starting indoors: Sow 6–8 weeks before transplanting. Surface-sow on pre-moistened quality starter mix and press seeds in gently — do not cover; seeds need light to germinate. Harden off for 10–14 days before planting out. Pinch back at transplant to encourage branching.

Mild-winter areas: Sow outdoors in a sheltered seedbed in late summer for winter and spring blooms.

Site & soil: Full sun; rich, moist, well-drained soil. Space 12–18 inches apart. Add organic matter at planting. Trim plants after the first bloom flush to promote a second flush of blooms.
