Planting Instructions:
- Direct sow the seeds in the spring, after the last frost has passed, or start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date.
- Space the seeds or seedlings about 6–12 inches apart to allow for air circulation and proper growth.
- Lightly cover the seeds with soil, and keep them moist until they germinate.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until the plants are established. Once they are growing, they are moderately drought-tolerant but will benefit from regular watering during dry periods.
- Fertilization: Fertilize lightly with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring, before the plants begin to bloom. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
- Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plants from becoming leggy.
- Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Winter Care: In colder climates, protect the plants with a layer of mulch or bring them indoors if grown in containers. In warmer zones, they can continue to grow as perennials.
