Seed Count: approximately 100 seeds
Plant Height: 3-4’
Light Requirements: full sun
Soil Preference: moist, well-draining soil
USDA Zones: 4-9 (annual)
How to Grow
Germination: 12-16 days at 60-65F
Seeding Depth: 1/8” depth
Plant Spacing: 8-12”
Days to Maturity: 65-75 days
Early-Season Seeding: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last spring frost date and transplant after the danger of frost has passed. Direct seed after the danger of frost has passed in Northern regions.
Late-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors or direct seed outdoors at least 12 weeks before the first frost date. Direct seed in fall in the south.
Growing Tips: Seeds can be sown in succession to provide a more continuous flowering time. Chill seeds for 2 weeks at 40F to improve germination when seeding indoors. A supportive trellis may be needed for stems in windy locations. Temperatures around 60F are best for growing on seedlings indoors.
Cut Flower: Harvest when 80% of the flowers on each cluster are open to prevent wilting and lengthen the vase-life. Flowers can be dried when all of the flowers are completely open and the stem is hung upside down in a dry, dark location.
