How to Plant
Stick in the dirt 1/4" deep, 2" apart. Water gently & regularly as seedlings emerge over the next 2 weeks. Once babies are 2” tall, pluck so there's just one per 12".
Where to Plant
Find a place that gets mostly sun.
When to Plant
Late spring, when the soil is warm, or start inside 6 weeks earlier.
When to Expect Blooms
Blooms all summer long.
Care Instructions
Tolerant of heat and poor soil, but water during dry spells. Pick flowers to encourage more.
Extra Credit
