Growing Notes

• Sow one treated seed 3 mm deep per 13–15 cm pot, or start one seed per cell and transplant the intact plug after two to three weeks.
• Hold at 20–22°C with even moisture; controlled emergence is 3–5 days, while the current packet allows 7–14 days at home.
• Give full sun, free drainage and restrained nitrogen; long days can make plants taller.
• Do not pinch; the first central flower is followed by secondary blooms.
• Do not eat, feed or compost treated seed; keep it from children and pets and follow the exact packet handling and disposal label.
