A fun mix of annual, vigorous, and easy to grow fluffy flowers that bloom from spring until fall in various colors.
You can start directly outdoors after the last frost or indoors 10 weeks earlier. Indoors plant seeds 1/8 inch deep, ½ inch apart in a container with drainage, filled with good quality, finely sieved, moist compost. Do not cover seeds as they need light to germinate and moisten with a spray bottle. Keep the soil moist. Place the container on a heat mat (day temperature 75°F and night temperature 58°F). Transplant to a sunny place with well-drained soil when day temperature is around 75°F. Space 12 inches apart. Starting outdoors, press the seeds slightly into the soil, keep the soil moist and deadhead spent blooms.
