HOW TO GROW

In the North, it is recommended to start the seed indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost. Sow seed on top of germination media that has been thoroughly wet and allowed to drain. Cover seed with media. Maintain 70 to 75F media temperature during germination, which takes about 5 to 7 days. Fill peat pot or other “green” container with soilless media and transplant young seedlings into containers. Grow indoors at 50 to 65F until outdoor temperatures warm to 60F. Plant pot and all into prepared garden soil or patio type container after the threat of frost. In the South, seed can be sown directly into garden soil where the plants would be growing for the summer season. Grow in full sun for maximum flower production. Too much fertilizer will result in large green plants with few flowers.
