This plant remains green year round with 1 inch fragrant blooms of pink and red hues concentrated at the top during its blooming season from spring to summer. The flowers keep their beauty even during the hottest summer months. It is a ready self-seeder, so will fill in nicely, making it a great ground cover or border plant.
Maiden Pink flower seed take about 14 days to germ. Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost, and transplant when plants are 3 inches high. Or can start directly outside as soon as soil can be prepared and cover with 1/8-1/4 inch of topsoil. Might take a full year before flowering.
