How to Grow :

 

SOWING:

 

Transplant - Sow into 50-cell plug flats, or preferred seedling container, 5-7 weeks before last frost, covering seeds lightly. Harden off and transplant outdoors after last frost.

 

Direct seed - Sow after last frost, once soil temperature is above 60°F (16°C), covering seeds lightly. Pinching encourages branching.

 

 Tall varieties may benefit from some wind protection, such as Hortonova net, used as horizontal support.  Wider spacing creates stronger, thicker stems.

Harvest:Petals just opening, but not yet flattened. Deadheading is required to have blooms all summer.

 

Vase Life  5- 7 days. Flower food may increase vase life.
