-
Transplanting: Once seedlings have developed 2–3 sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 12–18 inches apart.

Direct Sowing: In warmer climates, seeds can be sown directly outdoors after the last frost. Scatter evenly, cover with a thin layer of soil, and water gently.
-
Care Tips: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.
