How to Grow Seeds

1. Soil Preparation

Choose well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Adding compost improves soil fertility, promoting healthy root development.

2. Planting Instructions

  • Direct Sowing: Scatter seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall.

  • Indoor Starting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting.

  • Sowing Depth: Lightly press seeds onto the soil surface—they require light to germinate.

  • Spacing: Keep plants 12-18 inches apart to allow proper airflow.

  • Watering: Keep soil moist until germination, then water moderately.

3. Care and Maintenance

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun (at least 6 hours daily), but tolerates partial shade.

  • Mulching: Helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

  • Fertilizing: Minimal fertilization required; compost works best.

  • Pest Control: Resistant to most pests; use neem oil for aphids if needed.

4. Blooming and Deadheading

Expect blooms within 60-90 days. To extend the flowering period, deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous growth.
