Know before you buy
No, these seeds require light to germinate. Simply press them firmly into the surface of your seed-starting mix without covering them.
Since these plants have a spread of 10 to 14 inches, you should space them about 12 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and to showcase their compact, bushy habit.
They are excellent for both. Their dwarf, compact habit makes them particularly well-suited for containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets where you want a full, vibrant look.
For the best results, keep your seed trays in a warm environment between 70-75°F. Once the seedlings are established, they prefer slightly cooler nights around 60-65°F.
You can expect to see germination within 10 to 20 days, provided you maintain the recommended soil temperature and keep the seeds exposed to light.
The Wizard Rose variety is naturally bred with a basal branching habit, which means it will grow full and bushy on its own without requiring constant pinching.
