Growing Info

How to Plant	Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water
Where to Plant	Find a place in the sun or part shade, with well-draining soil
When to Plant	Plant outside in the spring, after your last frost. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon
When to Expect Blooms	Blooms from early spring through early winter. They may stop blooming to preserve energy during the hottest weeks of summer
Care Instructions	Water regularly. Deadhead to encourage more blooms and for a tidier look
Extra Credit	Petals are edible and delicious when candied
