How to Sow and Plant


Use fresh, well-draining seed-starting mix for best germination

Lightly scarify or chill seeds for a short period to improve sprouting

Sow seeds on the soil surface and press gently without burying deeply

Mist gently to keep soil evenly moist, never soggy

Maintain a cool temperature during germination

Transplant seedlings only after they develop strong true leaves

Harden off young plants gradually before moving outdoors

How to Grow


Grow in loose, fertile soil enriched with compost

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot

Water at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry

Provide partial shade in warmer climates

Apply a light organic fertilizer during early growth

Remove weak or crowded stems to improve airflow

Allow plants to self-seed naturally if natural spread is desired

Tips


Sow seeds in batches for staggered blooming

Mulch lightly to keep roots cool in summer

Avoid heavy clay soils unless amended well

Leave some seed heads if you want natural reseeding

Cut back foliage after flowering to refresh growth

Watch for aphids and treat early with neem oil

Avoid excessive fertilization to prevent leafy growth over blooms
