Sowing Info

When to Sow Outside: 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date for spring and fall color, or fall in USDA zone 7 and warmer for winter/spring blooms.

When to Start Inside: RECOMMENDED. 8 to 10 weeks before your average last frost date. In mild climates, sow 8 to 10 weeks before transplanting outside in fall or winter for early spring bloom. For continuous bloom, sow every 2 to 3 weeks.

Growing Info

Special Care: For the straightest stems, stake plants, especially in windy, rainy, or part-sun areas. If fall planting in mild climates with winter precipitation, plant in raised beds or containers to ensure good drainage. For longest vase life, cut flowers when 1/3 of the flowers are open on a stem, and remove most of the foliage. Row covers at sowing or transplanting help prevent flea beetles.

    There is something about the fragility of a newly sprouted seed, that blossoms into a fragrant flower. 🌸 This one is a keeper!

    I tried botanical interest stock last year and some other things for the first time. The germination was great. I just love the spring color they bring and the spicy scent of the blooms. So I finished off last years packet of seeds and still had good germination and decided to stick up for next year while they were on sale and grabbed 2 packets. I am prepared for reduced rate next season but I will have them and will keep an eye out for other varieties.
