SOWING: Simply broadcast seeds into desirable planting spot after danger of frost has passed. Cover seeds with 1/8 inch of fine soil. Can also be started indoors in individual peat pots or containers 3 to 4 weeks before last frost.
THINNING AND TRANSPLANTING: When seedling plants are 2 inches tall, thin to about 12 inches apart. Carefully replant thinned plants.
LOCATION: Grow in full sun or part sun and shade in soil that is well drained.
GERMINATINO: 7 to 10 days at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
Ed’s Special Advice: One of the easiest of the summer flowering annuals to grow from seed. Plants may need to be staked, if spaced too far apart of exposed to heavy winds. They will continue to flower until first frost in the fall.
