Growing guide

🌱Sowing

Plant seed outdoors as soon as the ground can be worked or in late summer or early winter for early blooms next year. Plant seed in a trench 6 inches deep, spacing seed 1 inch apart and cover with 1 inch of fine soil. Thin to 6 inches apart. If planted in fall or winter, cover with mulch.

✂️Thinning

When plants are 5 to 6 inches high, gradually start filling in the trench with soil each week until ground surface is level.

⏱Germination

Germinates in 10 to 14 days depending on soil and weather conditions. Soaking seed for 24 hours in room temperature water prior to planting will speed germination.

📋Remarks

If support is desired, train vines to string or brush when they reach 6 inches high. Water once a week by soaking ground around vines. Keep flowers picked to prolong blooming.
