Growing Notes

• Start seed in trays and keep the surface evenly moist while germinating.
• Transplant only after frost risk has passed, hardening seedlings off before planting out.
• Plant into light, fertile, well-draining soil or a quality container mix.
• Water regularly, but allow the top layer to dry slightly and avoid constantly wet roots.
• Feed every 2-4 weeks during active flowering and deadhead or trim lightly to keep plants full.
