Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Choose full sun to partial shade, with some relief from intense afternoon heat where needed.
• Soil: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid sites where water collects around the roots.
• Timing: Follow packet directions and local gardening guidance for spring or fall sowing. Flowering time depends on planting date, climate, and establishment; do not expect a fixed number of days to bloom.
• Sowing: Sow in a prepared seedbed or seed-starting mix, covering according to packet directions. Water gently to avoid displacing the seeds.
• Spacing: Thin or transplant according to packet directions, allowing space for mature clumps and good airflow.
• Watering: Keep the seedbed evenly moist during germination, then water at soil level as needed without saturating the roots.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced flower fertilizer as needed according to label directions. Avoid excessive nitrogen that encourages foliage instead of blooms.
• Support: Add light support if flowering stems lean in windy or exposed sites.
• Maintenance: Remove faded flower heads to keep plants tidy, or leave a few to mature if natural reseeding is desired.
