GROWING RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in small pots or flats with moistened seed-starting mix. Cover completely with soil, as light inhibits germination. Spritz with water to settle seeds into soil.
2. Place in warm indirect sunlight and keep soil moist. Germination will occur in 7-14 days.
3. Resize into bigger pots as needed. Transplant 4” tall seedlings 12-18” apart after last frost.
*** Pinch back young plants to encourage compact bushy growth.
*** Deadhead spent flowers immediately.
Germination: 85%
HAPPY PLANTING!

fertilizer used (tilled & incorporated between grow seasons) is
all-natural aged compost... and we don't let chemical pesticides ever
touch our soil.
