Planting Details
| Seed Depth | Surface to ⅛" |
|---|---|
| Seed Spacing | A group of 3 seeds every 12"–18" |
| Thinning | When 2" tall, thin to 1 every 12"–18" |
| Germination | 7–21 days |
| Start Indoors | 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date. Roots are sensitive to disturbance; sow in biodegradable pots and transplant before the taproot becomes crowded. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks before your average last frost date. Successive Sowings: Every 2 to 3 weeks for continuous bloom. |
| Special Care | May need staking in exposed, windy areas. Deadheading (removing spent blooms and their stalks) prolongs flowering and prevents reseeding. |
| Growing & Harvesting | For longest vase-life, harvest flowers when they are fully opened and lay flat. |
