Planting and Growing Tips:
These attractive summer bloomers are not fussy and tolerate most growing conditions providing they receive plenty of sun. Easy to grow, just broadcast and gently rake or tamp to a depth of 1/8 inch deep — barely cover! Thin seedlings 8- to 12-inches apart and mulch to prevent weeds, improve aesthetics and conserve moisture.
Deadhead or pinch off faded flowers — or use them as cuttings in flower arrangements — to promote additional blooms.ย After a killing frost, remove plants and add to the compost pile.
