How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Cold stratify in damp sand or paper towel in the fridge for 4–6 weeks for improved germination. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in sterile, well-draining seed mix. Keep soil moist and warm (65–70°F or 18–21°C) until seedlings emerge (2–4 weeks).

How to Grow

Transplant seedlings after the last frost and space 12–18 inches apart for good air flow. Grow in partial to full shade with well-draining, moist soil. Water consistently, especially when establishing. Mulch around roots in cooler climates. Light fertilization in spring encourages stronger growth. Prune spent flowers and leggy stems to keep plants bushy.
