Planting Instructions:

  1. Sowing: Directly sow seeds in prepared garden beds or containers after the last frost. Plant seeds 1–2 inches deep in well-draining soil.

  • Weed Control: Mulch around the plants to suppress weeds, conserve moisture, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Staking: Provide support for taller varieties if necessary, especially in windy areas.
  • Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a neat appearance.
