Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required; however, soaking seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting can aid in germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly into well-prepared soil after the last frost date in your area. Scatter the seeds thinly over the soil surface or plant them in rows, then cover them lightly with soil.

Germination:

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days when soil temperature is around 65-75 °F (18-24 °C).

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, thin them to ensure proper spacing (about 12-18 inches apart). If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, maintaining the same spacing.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases. Provide support, such as stakes or a trellis, for taller varieties to prevent them from flopping over. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.

Happy gardening!
