Growing Tips:

Use a dome and heated mat.  Keep at 70º. 

Keep soil moist while seeds are germinating. 

Can grow perennial in mild climates.

For a longer season, start in early spring.

Use a dome and heated mat. Keep over 75º. 

Harden off transplants. Can be sown in fall, for

spring blooms,  if there are mild winters. Plant in succession for continuous  blooms.   

If starting seeds indoors, it is key that your new starts be hardened off.  This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure. 

  • Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
  • One week minimum is recommended
  • Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
  • Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over.
