Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in 72-cell flats or deep-cell containers 4-5 weeks before the last frost date. Seeds require darkness for germination, so cover well and keep soil consistently moist.
Transplant seedlings after the danger of hard frost has passed, as young plants can tolerate light frosts. Space transplants 4 inches apart.
Direct sow 2-3 seeds every 6 inches, planting 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep as soon as the ground can be worked in spring.
Harvest flowers for cutting when half the blooms on a stem are open, cutting stems in the early morning for longest vase life. Regular harvesting increases overall bloom production and extends the flowering period.
Pinch growing tips when plants reach 6-8 inches tall to encourage bushy growth and increased flower production. Remove spent blooms regularly to maintain continuous flowering throughout the season.
