GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
ANNUAL
Summer/fall bloom
Frost tender
TO START DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN
Sow seeds in a well-worked seed bed in full sun when danger of frost is past and nighttime temperatures are reliably above 50°F (10°C). Space seeds 3 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart, cover about 1/2 inch deep and gently firm soil. Keep soil evenly moist while awaiting germination.
TO START EARLY INDOORS
Four to five weeks before last frost date, sow seeds ½ inch deep and 3 inches apart in a container of seed starting mix. Keep warm and moist and provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outside when nighttime temperatures are reliably above 50°F (10°C).
THIN OR TRANSPLANT
Space seedlings 12 inches apart when large enough to handle to give plants room to mature and provide good air circulation.
