Planting and Cultivation Guidelines
To achieve optimal results, these seeds require specific environmental conditions. It is recommended to sow seeds directly into the garden bed after the final frost. Because the seeds are small, they should be surface-sown or covered with a very thin layer of soil to ensure they receive adequate light for germination.
- Sowing Depth: Surface sow or cover lightly with 1/8 inch of soil.
- Spacing: Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil.
- Light Exposure: Requires full sun exposure for healthy development and flowering.

These seeds are intended for ornamental garden use. The plants typically reach a height of 18-24 inches, making them suitable for borders, cottage gardens, or as a component in wildflower meadows. Consistent moisture is required during the initial germination phase, after which the plants exhibit moderate drought tolerance once established.
