Growing Guide
Starting indoors (strongly recommended): Sow approximately 10 weeks before transplanting outdoors (after last frost). Press seeds onto the soil surface — do not cover; seeds need light to germinate. Keep at 70–80°F (21–27°C); germination takes 1–3 weeks. Space transplants 8–10 inches (20–25 cm) apart.
Direct sowing: Sow on the soil surface after the last frost of spring in a sunny to partially shaded location with moist, organically rich soil, pH 6.0–7.5.
Site and soil: Full sun to partial shade; moist, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Regular feeding through the season maximizes bloom performance and stem length.
