Where to Plant
Find a place that gets mostly sun, and space plants about 9" apart.
When to Plant
Early spring, or late fall if winters are mild. Sow directly into garden.
When to Expect Blooms
For about six week mid-summer.
Care Instructions
Water regularly until they get established, and then give them extra water during dry spells. Pick the flowers to encourage more blooms.
Extra Credit
You can sear the end of the cut stem for a few seconds in boiling water or with a flame to prolong the vase life.
