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. Direct sowing or transplanting outdoors is recommended from September through November.
Germination
Seeds do not require light for germination. Cover them lightly with a thin layer of seed-starting mix or vermiculite.
Growing Instructions
Sow seeds in a light, well-drained growing medium and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Seeds typically germinate within 7–14 days at 20–22°C (68–72°F). Transplant seedlings after they develop several true leaves, spacing plants 25–30 cm (10–12 in.) apart. Grow in full sun for strong stems and abundant flowering. Flowers can be harvested fresh or dried to preserve their beauty for months.
