Planting Tips for Success

• Choose full sun: Select a bright location with at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Time your sowing: Start seeds indoors or direct sow outdoors after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed. Use local frost dates and packet guidance.
• Prepare the soil: Remove weeds and provide well-drained soil. Follow packet directions for planting depth and spacing.
• Water during germination: Keep the seedbed evenly moist without saturating it or washing seeds away.
• Allow growing room: Thin crowded seedlings and leave space for mature plants and airflow.
• Water established plants: Check soil moisture during hot weather and water near the base. Heat tolerance is not a substitute for adequate moisture.
• Fertilize thoughtfully: Use soil-test recommendations or fertilizer-label directions. Excess nitrogen may favor leaves over flowers.
• Support as needed: Stake leaning stems in exposed locations, especially when large flowers become heavy after rain.
• Maintain the display: Remove spent flowers to keep plants tidy and encourage continued blooming. Leave selected mature heads if collecting seed.
• Cut flowers carefully: Use clean tools and place freshly cut stems in water promptly.
