Plant Height: 24-36”
Light Requirements: full sun
Soil Preference: average fertility and moist soil, pH 6-7
USDA Zones: 2-11 (annual)
How to Grow
Germination: 7-14 days at 70-75F, light required for germination
Seeding Depth: 1/8” depth
Plant Spacing: 6-9”
Days to Maturity: 100-120 days
Early-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, transplant after the danger of frost has passed. Direct seeding is not recommended but can be done around the last frost date.
Late-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors at least 12 weeks before the first frost date.
Growing Tips: Pinching is not required for this crop and may delay blooming for a few weeks but will produce a bushier plant with more stems. Pinch the top growing point when the plant has at least 6 sets of leaves. Pinched plants require a spacing of at least 9”. Plants require horizontal trellising to support stems for cut flower production. Remove stems after they have bloomed and new stems will grow from the plant base.
Cut Flower: Harvest when the bottom 1/3 of the flowers are open for a vase-life of 7-10 days.
