Planting and Cultivation Guide

To achieve optimal growth, follow these standardized horticultural practices. Proper preparation is essential for successful germination and plant health.

• Site Selection: Choose a location that receives full sun exposure for at least 6 to 8 hours daily.
• Soil Preparation: Ensure soil is well-draining and cleared of competing weeds. These plants perform well in average garden soil.
• Sowing Instructions: Sow seeds after the final frost date when soil temperatures have warmed. Lightly cover seeds with 1/8 inch of soil, as they require some light to germinate.
• Moisture Management: Maintain consistent soil moisture during the germination phase. Once established, these plants exhibit moderate drought tolerance, though regular watering during dry spells supports continuous blooming.
• Spacing: Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and mature plant size.
