Planting: Sow seeds 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep into the soil. Space seeds 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) apart to allow ample room for growth.

Germination: Seeds typically germinate in 7-21 days, depending on temperature and moisture levels.
-
Maintenance: Once the plants are established, deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming. Provide adequate spacing to ensure good air circulation and prevent disease.
