Planting Tips for Success

• Season: Follow your local planting calendar. Johnny Jump Ups are useful cool-season flowers in many regions and may struggle during extreme heat.
• Sunlight: Choose full sun to partial shade. Afternoon shade can be helpful in hot climates.
• Soil: Use well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Containers need drainage holes and a suitable potting mix.
• Sowing: Follow packet directions for sowing depth and germination conditions. Keep the seedbed evenly moist without saturating it.
• Spacing: Thin seedlings or transplant according to packet guidance, allowing room for growth and airflow.
• Watering: Keep soil moderately moist, especially during establishment. Check containers frequently and avoid standing water.
• Fertilizing: Feed only as needed, following fertilizer-label directions. Avoid excessive nitrogen that favors leafy growth.
• Support: Compact plants generally do not need staking.
• Flower Care: Remove faded flowers to keep the planting tidy and encourage further blooms. Leave selected flowers to develop seed if desired.
