SOWING: Sow outdoors in sunny location after danger of frost has passed or start earlier indoors in individual peat pots. Do not cover seeds with soil but firmly press into soil with the back of your hand. Keep soil evenly moist until seedlings are up.

THINNING AND TRANSPLANTING:  When plants are two inches high, thin 8 to 10 inches apart. Transplant individually potted plants after danger of frost has passed.

SUGGESTIONS:  When possible sow seeds in permanent location. Plants do not transplant well. Plants will bloom first year or sow in summer for blooms the following spring. Pick fading flowers for extended blooming period. Pick in the bud stage and sear stem end with flame for best results with cut flowers.
