GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

TENDER PERENNIAL GROWN AS ANNUAL

Summer/Fall bloom. Frost tender.

TO START EARLY INDOORS

Five to six weeks before last frost date, sow seeds 1⁄2 inch deep and2 inches apart in a container of seed starting mix. Keep moist and provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant in the garden. Acclimate seedlings gradually to outdoor conditions when night temperatures are regularly above 50°F (10°C). Space seedlings 10 to 12 inches apart in the garden.

FOR CONTAINER GROWING

Plant 5-6 seedlings per 20 inch pot; 3 plants per 12-14 inch pot. 

TO START DIRECTLY IN THE GARDEN

Sow seeds in a well-worked seedbed in full sun only when all danger of frost is past and weather is warm and settled. Space seeds 4 to 5 inches apart in rows 12 inches apart, cover about 1⁄2 inch deep and gently firm soil. Keep soil evenly moist while awaiting germination in 10 to 20 days.
