Growing Instructions:
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of moist, sterile seed-starting mix; press gently—light is needed for germination. Maintain a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C). Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Germination typically occurs in 14-30 days. Once seedlings develop true leaves, transplant into individual pots. Harden off and plant outdoors after all danger of frost.

Plant in partial shade with morning sun and afternoon shade. Prefers rich, well-draining soil amended with organic matter. Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring and midsummer. USDA hardiness zones 5-9. Prune after flowering, as blooms form on old wood.

Enjoy years of romantic, vintage beauty. Packet includes 5 seeds.
