Seed Count: approximately 50 seeds
Plant Height: 10-12”
Light Requirements: full sun
Soil Preference: average fertility and well drained soil, pH 6-7-5
USDA Zones: 4-10 (annual)
How to Grow
Germination:14-28 days at 60-70F
Seeding Depth: surface sow seeds, light required for germination
Plant Spacing: 12-16”
Days to Maturity: 70-90 days
Early-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date, transplant after the danger of frost has passed. Direct seed outdoors after the last frost date or when soil temperature is above 60F.
Late-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors or direct seed outdoors at least 11 weeks before the first frost date.
Growing Tips: Seeds require light for germination and should not be covered with soil, just press into the soil surface with your finger. Below tray watering will minimize disturbance to the surface sown seeds. Virtually pest and disease free. Deadheading encourages new growth but it will keep flowering through fall regardless of pruning dead flowers.
