- Germination: Keep trays at 18-20C (64-68F). Germination usually takes 14-21 days.
- Transplanting: When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots. Harden off before planting outdoors in late spring.
- Planting: Choose a sunny, well-drained location. Space plants 25-30cm (10-12 inches) apart to allow for healthy growth.
- Care: Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Taller stems may require support in windy areas.
