- Germination: Keep the soil moist but well-drained. Germination usually occurs within 14-21 days.
- Transplanting: If started indoors, transplant seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle. Harden off before planting outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.
- Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants 30-45cm (12-18 inches) apart to allow for healthy growth.
- Care: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch around the base to retain moisture. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming and maintain plant health.
