How to use

Sow seeds directly outdoors according to regional sowing times for temperate climates, typically in early spring or autumn where recommended. Prepare a weed-free seedbed with loosened, well-drained soil. Sow seeds at the recommended depth for small-seeded annuals and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Thin or transplant seedlings to the intended spacing to allow air circulation and room for mature plants. Regular deadheading of spent flowers can prolong the bloom period for continuous ornamental display and cut-flower production.

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose a sunny site with regular watering during establishment and avoid waterlogged soils. Integrate into mixed plantings to increase visual impact and to support pollinators; harvest stems for bouquets in the morning and place cut flowers in clean water to extend vase life.
