How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds directly outdoors in well-drained soil in spring or start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press seeds onto the soil surface without covering. Keep soil slightly moist until germination (2–4 weeks). Transplant seedlings when they have two sets of true leaves.

How to Grow

Grow in full sun with well-drained soil. Water sparingly; drought-tolerant once established. Apply light, balanced fertilizer in early spring. Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Grow as annual in colder climates or bring container plants indoors. Resistant to most pests and diseases.
