Keep the soil moist until the seeds sprout, which can take 14-35 days depending on the variety. Once seedlings are established, transplant them into well-drained soil with full sun or partial shade.

Common Questions

Q

My leaves have spots on them, what is wrong?

A

Discard infected matter from an otherwise healthy plant. If needed, treat infected plants with an antifungal spray and make sure there is plenty of room for air circulation around your plant.

Q

How do I encourage more blooms?

A

Deadheading and keeping your plants in a full sun location will give you the best bloom results.

Q

Do I need to prune my plants?

A

Yes, cutting away foliage at the end of your growing season down to the soil will help to keep your plants healthy. If you don’t get this done in the fall, be sure to cut the foliage back in spring before new growth starts.
