🗓️ When to Sow

• Indoors: Start seeds 6–8 weeks before your last frost date.

• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, once the soil has warmed.

🌱 How to Sow Indoors (Recommended)

1. Prepare Containers

   • Use seed trays or pots with a light, well-draining seed-starting mix.

2. Sow the Seeds

   • Surface sow: Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface.

   • Do not cover — seeds need light to germinate.

   • Press seeds gently into the soil to ensure good contact.

3. Moisture

   • Mist gently to keep the soil evenly moist, not wet.

   • Cover trays lightly with a humidity dome or plastic wrap to maintain humidity.

4. Light & Temperature

   • Ideal germination temp: 65–70°F (18–21°C).

   • Germination usually takes 10–15 days.

   • Provide bright light once germination occurs (windowsill or grow lights).

🌿 After Germination

• Remove cover once seedlings emerge.

• Keep soil moist but not soggy.

• Transplant into individual pots when seedlings have 2–3 true leaves.

🌸 Transplanting Outdoors

• Harden off for 7–10 days before transplanting outdoors.

• Plant in full sun.

• Spacing: 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart.

• Soil: Well-draining, sandy or loamy soil. Avoid overly rich soil to keep plants compact.

🌾 Growing Notes

• Water: Drought-tolerant once established. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

• Bloom Time: Late spring through summer.

• Use: Excellent for fresh and dried arrangements — harvest flowers when they are half open for drying.

• Deadheading: Encourages more blooms but not strictly necessary if growing for dried flowers.
