Sow seeds into 72-cell flats or preferred seedling containers 4 weeks before your planned outdoor planting date. Cover seeds and maintain soil temperature between 70 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit for germination in 5 to 7 days. Using a heat mat helps maintain consistent temperature. Transplant before plants become root bound, as stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms temporarily after disturbance.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date has passed. Space plants 9 inches apart. Handle with care to avoid root disturbance, which can stress the plants.
Direct seed 1/4 inch deep into prepared garden soil after the last frost date.
