Growing Guide

Starting indoors: Sow 6–8 weeks before transplanting. Surface-sow on pre-moistened quality starter mix and press seeds gently in — do not cover; seeds need light to germinate. Keep at 64–72°F; germination in 10–21 days. Harden off for 10–14 days before setting out. Pinch back at transplant time to encourage branching.

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

Site & soil: Full sun; rich, moist, well-drained soil. Space 12–18 inches apart. Adding organic matter at planting significantly improves performance.

Ongoing care: Trim plants back after the first flush of blooms for a quick second flush. Feed regularly. In very hot climates, afternoon shade extends the blooming period.
