Growing Instructions

Sunlight: Provide full sun to bright partial sun for sturdy stems and reliable flowering.

Soil: Use loose, fertile, sharply drained soil with good air movement around the root zone.

Watering: Keep evenly moist during establishment, then allow the surface to dry slightly between waterings.

Sowing Depth: Sow about one-eighth inch deep and cover only lightly with fine seed-starting mix.

Spacing: Space plants about ten to fourteen inches apart for airflow and branching.

Germination: Mild warmth and even moisture commonly support germination in about seven to twenty-one days.

Blooming Time: Plants started early may flower in the first season, with stronger displays after establishment.

Plant Height: Mature height ranges from compact edging forms to flowering stems around two feet tall.

Care Tips: Avoid soggy soil, maintain airflow, and pinch young plants if fuller branching is desired.
