Know before you buy
No, these are untreated seeds, making them a suitable choice for gardeners who prefer to avoid chemical coatings or fungicides.
Since these plants have a spread of 6 to 8 inches, you should space them accordingly to ensure proper airflow and allow the compact structure to thrive.
No, you should only lightly cover the seeds with soil. They require some light to germinate effectively within the recommended 5 to 8-day window.
While they are manageable in packs and containers, they truly excel when planted outdoors. Their free-flowering habit and compact 10 to 12-inch height make them versatile for both borders and decorative pots.
To maintain optimal growth, aim for daytime temperatures between 65-70°F and nighttime temperatures between 60-65°F.
