Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist, but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.

  • Planting Depth: 3 mm (1/8in.)
  • Seed Spacing: 5 cm (2 in.)
  • Plant Spacing: 45 cm (18 in.)
  • Instructions for Nutrient Care: Apply SUPERThrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.

  • Regularly removing spent flowers, known as deadheading will keep the plant tidy and may reward you with more blooms.

Good seeds

"Mine grew with ease. Planted 12 seeds May 20th and they're doing pretty good even with scorching hot temperatures in low to mid 30's. Only planted 12 seeds and they all grew. They still have plenty of summer left to grow. The leaves appear a bit yellow in the pics but I assure you they're not. It's because of the yellowish flash on my camera. Some are lighter purple and some are brighter purple kind of pinkish. I'd suggest planting your seeds a bit further apart though possibly 15" - 18" apart. Mine were planted a foot apart and they're a little bunched up. 5 stars"
