Sowing Method

When to Sow :

Seed Preparation :
• Seeds do not require pre-soaking.
• Fine seeds - handle gently and sow sparingly.

• Maintain consistent moisture and warmth (20–25°C or 68–77°F).
Germination time : 7–14 days
Location :
• Start in seed trays or directly in the garden under full sun.

Planting

Transplanting :
• Transplant when seedlings are 3–4 inches tall and the risk of frost has passed.
• Handle with care to avoid disturbing roots.
Spacing :
• Space plants 8–12 inches apart to allow proper air circulation and growth.
Soil Requirements :

Watering :

Sunlight :
• Requires full sun for best blooming (minimum 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day).
