How to Sow and Plant


Soak seeds briefly to enhance germination. Sow in well-drained soil in spring after frost danger has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist until germination occurs.

How to Grow


Plant in an area with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment. Prune lightly in late winter to maintain shape and remove old wood.

Tips


Provide good airflow and avoid overly shaded, wet soils. Jetbead can adapt to various soil types but favors moderate moisture and sunlight.
