How to Sow and Plant


Pre-soak seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours to improve germination. Sow in a seed tray or directly in soil with good drainage, press seeds lightly into the surface, and cover with a very thin layer of soil or sand (1–2 mm). Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination usually appears within a few weeks under bright but not harsh sunlight

How to Grow

Plant in well-drained sandy or loamy soil with full sun exposure for best results. Water regularly while avoiding waterlogging; allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once plants are established, they require minimal care other than occasional watering and removing spent blooms to prolong flowering and plant
