Know before you buy
No, the Limbo GP series is genetically dwarf. You can achieve a neat, compact habit without the use of chemical growth regulators.
These seeds are pelleted for easier handling. Because they require light to germinate, be sure not to cover them with soil when sowing.
While they remain compact and neat in pots, the 'GP' designation indicates superior garden performance, meaning they will show more vigorous spreading once planted in the ground.
Maintain a soil temperature between 70-75°F. Under these conditions, you can expect germination to occur within 7 to 12 days.
No, these are annual flowers. They are designed to provide a season-long display of color but will not return the following year.
Given their 15-18 inch spread, you should space them accordingly to allow for proper airflow and to ensure they have enough room to reach their full potential.
