SOWING: Start seeds indoors in early spring. Sow in flats, pots or trays, firm seed into soil with the back of hand. Do not cover seed as light aids in germination. Can be planted directly outdoors after all danger of frost and weather warms for later blooms.
THINNING AND TRANSPLANTING (Indoors): When seedlings are 1 to 2 inches tall space them 2 inches apart in flats or pot individually.
SPACING (Outdoors): Space plants 6 to 9 inches apart outside.
SUGGESTIONS: Young seedling plants grow best indoors when provided with lots of light and the temperature is a cool 60 degrees. Outdoors, plants grow best in a rich well drained soil in mostly full sun. Shear back faded flowers to encourage continued blooming.
