Planting Details
| Seed Depth | ⅛"–¼" |
|---|---|
| Seed Spacing | Scatter about 20 seeds per sq. ft. and rake in |
| Thinning | As needed |
| Germination | 7–21 days |
| Start Indoors | Not recommended. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. Cold Climates: 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, or early to mid-fall for bloom the following spring. A second option: Sow half the seed 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date (hoping the last frost is earlier than usual) and sow the second half a week or two after your average last frost date (just to be safe). Mild Climates: Fall through early spring. |
| Special Sowing | Shake gently before sowing to ensure even mixture of seeds. With a flower mix, it can be difficult to tell which of your seedlings are flowers and which are weeds. If you sow a pinch of seeds in a container of potting soil, you can then compare the flower seedlings with what sprouts in the garden. Thoroughly mix seed with some material that looks different than the native soil (for example, sand) and spread evenly over area to be sown. (Sand will make it easier to tell where you spread the seed.) How Far Will Your Seed Go? The less square footage you cover, the more dense, and smaller the plants will be, because seedlings that emerge very close to each other will compete for light and water, so some thinning may be necessary to encourage larger plants and flowers. Using a rake, scratch in sand/seed mixture to a depth no greater than 1/4". |
