Sunny patios and open beds are better choices than shaded corners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrepare well-drained soil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Loosen garden soil and add finished compost as needed. For pots, use a well-draining container mix rather than dense garden soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect sow after frost:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant outdoors once frost danger has passed and soil has warmed. Sow about 1 inch deep, following packet spacing directions and thinning crowded seedlings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGive containers room:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose a sturdy pot with drainage holes and enough soil volume for roots. Avoid overcrowding several plants in a small pot, and check moisture more often than in garden beds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeep moisture steady:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the seedbed moist during germination. Once established, water at the base when needed and let excess water drain away instead of leaving roots waterlogged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtect young plants:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watch for birds and digging animals that may disturb newly sown seeds. Remove temporary protective covers before they restrict growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeed moderately:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use compost or a balanced fertilizer according to label directions and soil needs. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can encourage leafy growth instead of flowers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupport if needed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dwarf does not mean immune to wind.
