When to Plant

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last expected spring frost. Plan the outdoor transplanting date around local weather rather than a fixed calendar month. Wait until frost danger has passed, and gradually acclimate seedlings outdoors over 10–14 days before planting them into their final positions.

Starting Seeds Indoors

Use clean, premoistened seed-starting mix. Sow 2–3 seeds per cell or planting position, gently press onto the surface and do not cover with soil. These seeds need light for germination.

Maintain approximately 72–76°F and keep the seed surface consistently moist without waterlogging. A clear humidity cover can help retain moisture, but check regularly and keep covered trays away from hot direct sun. Germination is typically listed at 3–10 days, although conditions affect timing. Remove the cover after emergence and provide bright, gentle light.

Transplanting & Garden Care

Choose partial to full shade, protected from harsh afternoon sun. Space plants approximately 12 inches apart and water gently after planting. Maintain consistent moisture, remove damaged foliage and allow airflow between plants.

Growing in Containers

Use pots, baskets or window boxes with drainage holes and a moisture-retentive, well-draining potting mix. Give plants room to develop rather than crowding young seedlings, and position containers in shade or partial shade.

Check moisture frequently, especially in hanging baskets and during warm weather. Water as needed to keep the mix evenly moist, allowing excess water to drain freely. Do not leave containers standing in water. Feed according to the label directions for a fertilizer suitable for flowering container plants.

Seasonal Expectations

Seeds need time to germinate, establish and grow before flowering; they do not arrive in bloom. Flowering time and the length of the display vary with sowing date, temperature, light and care. Expect a seasonal display rather than guaranteed year-round flowers.

Protect these frost-tender plants from cold weather. Do not expect them to survive freezing conditions outdoors. In frost-free climates, follow local guidance for the most suitable planting season.

Seed Safety

For ornamental planting only. Do not eat the seeds or use them as food, animal feed or sprouts. Keep seed packets away from children and pets, supervise children during sowing and wash hands after handling.

Store unused seeds in labeled packaging in a cool, dry place, separate from food. Follow any additional handling instructions supplied with the packet.
