Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Choose a sunny location for strong growth and flowering.
• Soil: Provide well-drained soil and avoid areas where water stands after rain.
• Sowing: Direct sow after frost danger has passed and the soil has warmed. Cover lightly and keep the seedbed evenly moist during germination.
• Seedling Care: Thin crowded seedlings to allow branching and airflow. If starting indoors, harden off plants before transplanting outdoors.
• Watering: Water regularly while seedlings establish. Once growing well, water at the base as needed during dry weather without keeping roots saturated.
• Fertilizing: Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can favor leafy growth over flowers. Feed only as needed for your soil and follow fertilizer label directions.
• Support: Add discreet stakes if plants lean in windy or exposed locations.
• Flower Care: Remove spent blooms to keep plants tidy and encourage continued flowering. Cut bouquet stems during the cool part of the day and place promptly in clean water.
