How to Grow
Germination: 7-14 days at 70F
Seeding Depth: 1/8” depth, light required for germination
Plant Spacing: 9-12”
Days to Maturity: 60-70 days
Early-Season Seeding: Starting seed indoors is not recommended but can be done 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, transplant after the danger of heavy frost has passed. Direct seed after the danger of frost has passed.
Late-Season Seeding: Start seeds indoors or direct seed outdoors at least 10 weeks before your first fall frost date.
Growing Tips: Plants can be grown in succession every 2-3 weeks to provide a longer period of cut flower production. Mignonette does not transplant easily so it is best to direct seed. Plants can be pinched back to result in a bushier plant growth habit.
Cut Flower: Harvest when the bottom ⅓ of the flowers on each stem are open or harvest when seed pods have matured. Expect a vase life of 5-7 days with the seed pod stage lasting longer than the flower stage.
