Know before you buy
Raw and untreated means the seeds have not been coated with fungicides or chemical growth stimulants. They are in their natural state, which is ideal for organic gardeners or those who prefer to control the germination environment without added chemicals.
You can expect these plants to reach a mature height of 10 to 12 inches. With a spread of 8 to 10 inches, they are well-suited for borders, containers, or mass plantings.
No, this variety is day-length neutral. This means the plants will bloom based on their maturity rather than the number of daylight hours, giving you more flexibility in when you start them.
For the best results, maintain a soil temperature between 70°F and 75°F. Under these conditions, you should see germination occur within 7 to 10 days.
These are annuals, meaning they complete their entire life cycle—from germination to flowering and seed production—within a single growing season. They are best used for providing reliable, vibrant color throughout the summer.
