Know before you buy
Yes, this variety is considered an easy-to-grow garden classic. They are particularly low-maintenance because they thrive in poor soil conditions and require minimal water once established.
These seeds require full sun exposure to thrive. Ensure you plant them in a location that receives direct sunlight for most of the day to achieve the best bloom results.
Absolutely. These pink blooms are excellent for both fresh spring bouquets and dried floral arrangements, making them a popular choice for cut flower gardens.
No, these are annuals, meaning they complete their entire life cycle in one growing season. You will need to replant seeds each spring to enjoy them again.
These plants are deer resistant, which makes them a great choice if you live in an area where deer frequently browse your garden beds.
Plant the seeds at a shallow depth of 1/8 inch. Because they are small, be careful not to bury them too deeply, as this can prevent them from sprouting.
