How to Grow

  1. Tuck seeds or tubers into well-draining soil in spring after the danger of frost has passed.
  2. Water regularly to keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
  3. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
  4. Pinch back the stems early to encourage bushier growth.
  5. Stake taller varieties to support heavy blooms and prevent breakage.
  6. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.
