Know before you buy
No, do not cover the seeds. They require light to germinate, so simply press them firmly into the surface of your seed-starting mix.
Each plant will spread between 30 and 36 inches. If you are planting them in a container or hanging basket, ensure the pot is large enough to accommodate this vigorous growth.
Under optimal conditions with a soil temperature between 70-75°F, you can expect germination to occur within 7 to 12 days.
While they are excellent for hanging baskets and containers, they also perform beautifully in garden beds. Their mounded, spreading habit creates a dense, colorful carpet that works well as a ground cover.
Once established, they thrive in daytime temperatures of 65-70°F and nighttime temperatures of 60-65°F.
