No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Sow seeds into 50-cell flats or your preferred seedling container 5 to 6 weeks before your last frost date. Light aids germination, so cover seeds just enough to hold them in place rather than burying them. Germinate at 60 to 75°F. Once seedlings emerge, maintain temperatures around 60°F for 1 to 2 weeks to encourage strong root development.
Harden off plants gradually before transplanting after all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 8 inches apart in full sun. Direct seeding is not recommended for this variety.
Harvest stems when the individual flowers are mostly open and showing color. This timing maximizes both the beauty of fresh arrangements and the vividness of dried flowers. Hang bunches upside down in a warm, dry location to dry completely for long-term storage.
