Know before you buy
The plant begins to develop its signature rosy-red center once nighttime temperatures consistently drop below 55°F. Before that point, the plant will appear primarily deep green.
You can expect the plants to reach full maturity approximately 90 days after sowing.
No, these are raw, untreated seeds.
Since the plants reach a spread of 10-12 inches, you should space them about 12 inches apart to ensure they have enough room to develop their full, frilly shape.
For the best germination results, keep your seed trays in an environment between 70-75°F. You should see sprouts appear within 10-12 days.
Yes, its compact size—reaching only 8-10 inches in height—makes it an excellent choice for containers or as a border plant in garden beds.
