Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Sun or part shade.

Or at the bud stage.

Growing Information

Days to germination

About 10–12 days at 18–21°C (65–70°F).

Starting indoors

Recommended. Sow 6–8 weeks ahead of transplanting, barely covering the seed, since it needs light. Move seedlings to cell packs at the first true leaves, and grow them on at 16–18°C (60–65°F); cooler conditions can cause early flowering and weak plants. Harden off and plant out once the last frost has passed.

Plant spacing

12–18".

Soil

Rich, free-draining soil.

Light

Full sun or part shade.

Harvest

Cut at the bud stage or when flowers are half open.

Uses

An excellent cut flower; backs of beds, borders and containers.

Zones 3–7. Plants usually live about 3 years.
