How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds directly in well-drained soil after last frost / once soil warms — or start indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting.
Sow seeds about 0.5–1 cm deep. Lightly cover with soil and gently firm.
Water lightly but keep soil moist until germination (about 7–14 days under good conditions).
Once seedlings are established and danger of frost has passed, thin or transplant to final spacing or containers.

How to Grow

Light: Full sun (6–8 hours/day) for best bloom colour and productivity.
Soil: Well-drained loamy or sandy soil; loosen soil and mix compost for nutrients.
Water: Moderate — keep soil moist but avoid waterlogging; allow top soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Maintenance: Dead-head spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering; remove weeds; light feeding (balanced fertilizer) if soil is poor.
Container care: If grown in pots or containers, ensure good drainage and use potting mix with compost; water regularly, especially during hot dry spells.

Tips

For continuous bloom, remove faded flowers (dead-heading) every 1–2 weeks.
Best sown in early spring or start indoors to get earlier blooms.
Combine with other contrasting foliage or flowers to highlight purple blooms.
In very hot climates, provide some afternoon shade to avoid flower scorch or soil drying.
