Planting Time in the Gulf Region
For the best results, start seeds indoors or in a cool, well-lit location during August for an early start to the season. Transplant outdoors as temperatures become milder. Outdoor planting is recommended from September through November.
Germination
Seeds require light for germination, so sow them on the surface of the growing medium without covering, or cover only very lightly.
Growing Instructions
Sow seeds on the surface of a light, well-drained growing medium and gently press them into the soil to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Seeds typically germinate within 10–20 days at 18–20°C (64–68°F). Transplant seedlings after they develop several true leaves, spacing plants 15–20 cm (6–8 in.) apart. Grow in full sun or partial shade for the best growth and flowering. Regular removal of spent blooms encourages continuous flowering throughout the season.
