Planting Guide

1. Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly in moist soil outdoors in spring.

2. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; they require light for germination.

3. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs.

4. Transplant seedlings to pond edges, wet garden areas, or containers with drainage trays.

5. Trim regularly to manage spread and encourage fuller growth.
