Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C).

Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or into the garden after hardening off. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for winter interest and bird food.
