Know before you buy

Yes, you should lightly cover the seeds with soil, but they still require light to germinate effectively. Ensure they are placed in a spot that receives adequate light during the 7-12 day germination period.
Absolutely. Their compact 6-8 inch height and spread make them an excellent choice for containers, urns, and hanging baskets.
For best results, germinate the seeds in soil temperatures between 70-75°F. Once established, they prefer daytime temperatures of 65-70°F and slightly cooler nighttime temperatures of 55-60°F.
