Planting
How to Grow
- Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for planting.
- Tuck seeds just below the soil surface in early spring or fall.
- Mist seeds regularly to keep soil moist during germination, which takes 2-3 weeks.
- Thin seedlings to prevent overcrowding once they are 2 inches tall.
- Water deeply once a week to establish strong roots during dry periods.
- Fertilize with a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer in early growth stages.
Pro Tip
Use seed-starting trays indoors for an earlier bloom and transplant after the last frost.
