How to Sow and Plant


Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface or start indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting outside once hazards of frost have passed.

How to Grow


Provide full sun and well-drained soil. Water moderately, keeping the soil moist during germination and reducing frequency once plants are established. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.



Tips

Grow in full sunlight for the best flowering performance.


Avoid overly rich soil, as leaner soil encourages more blooms.


Space plants appropriately to ensure good air circulation.
