Planting and Growing Tips:
Fragrant plants thrive in full sun and moist soil, but will tolerate some shade. Direct sow outdoors one week after the last spring frost, 1/4 inch beneath the surface of the soil. Provide support for the taller climbing varieties and pinch off the spent blossoms to extend the flowering season.

Note: This easy-to-grow annual is a good flower to plant with children because it grows so rapidly and the large seeds are easily handled by little fingers.
