Growing Tips
For the best stands in cool springs, sow into well-prepared soil that drains freely, and avoid letting seedbeds crust over.
Start earlier indoors for a jump on the season, then harden off seedlings before transplanting.
Pinch or deadhead where appropriate to encourage branching and longer bloom.
Keep young seedlings evenly moist; once established, water deeply and less often.
Growing tip: For best results, plant at the recommended time for your climate and provide consistent moisture until seedlings are established.
