Soil Preparation: Choose a well-drained location with rich, loamy soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 6 inches. If necessary, enrich the soil with compost to improve its texture and fertility.
-
Sowing Seeds:
-
Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep in seed trays or small pots. Keep them in a warm, sunny location to encourage germination.
-
Outdoors: After the last frost, direct sow the seeds into the garden bed. Space seeds about 6-12 inches apart for optimal growth.
-
-
Watering: Water the seeds thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period. Once established, water moderately but avoid overwatering.
-
Sunlight: Ensure the plants receive full sun to partial shade for optimal growth. These flowers will thrive in a spot with at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day.
-
Spacing: When transplanting or thinning, ensure each plant has ample space to grow. Allow 12-18 inches between each plant to ensure proper air circulation.
-
Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms. These flowers are low-maintenance but will benefit from occasional fertilizing during the growing season.
-
Harvesting: For cut flowers, harvest the blooms early in the evening when the flowers open. Cut the stems long to allow for easy arrangement.
