Sowing Your Seeds

Start indoors approximately 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost. Press seeds into a moist seed-starting medium and cover only very thinly. The existing sowing guidance lists light as beneficial, so avoid burying seeds deeply.

Keep the medium slightly moist, not wet. Germination is typically listed at 7–21 days at 60–70°F, with timing varying by conditions. Sow 3–5 seeds per planting position, then thin or pot on seedlings to prevent crowding.

Transplanting and Garden Care

Grow seedlings on in small pots as needed and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. Transplant after frost danger has passed, spacing approximately 9–12 inches apart. Choose a sunny to lightly shaded site with good drainage.

Maintain consistent moisture during active growth without saturating the soil. Feed according to the fertilizer label, and remove spent flowers to encourage further blooms and keep plants tidy. Allow airflow around plants and remove damaged or diseased growth.

Growing in Containers

Use a container with drainage holes and enough space for the recommended plant spacing. Fill with a well-draining potting mix and place in full sun or light shade. Avoid overcrowding, especially in mixed displays.

Check moisture frequently in summer, watering thoroughly when needed and allowing excess water to drain. Feed container plants according to the product label, deadhead regularly, and support stems if they lean. The original listing gives conflicting mature heights, so allow room for growth rather than relying on a precise height.

Cut Flowers

Cut fresh flowering stems with clean tools and place promptly in water. Use the rounded white flowers on their own or alongside contrasting blooms in a seasonal arrangement. Flowering duration and stem development vary with light, weather, and care.
