How to Sow and Plant


Direct-sow seeds outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 4–6 weeks early. Press seeds lightly into moist, well-drained soil; do not bury deeply, as light aids germination. Maintain consistent moisture for 14–21 days until sprouting.

How to Grow

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage prolonged flowering. Space plants 12–18 inches apart for airflow and growth.

Tips


Support taller stems if necessary and avoid overly rich soils that can cause flopping. Mulch lightly to retain moisture and suppress weeds
