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.

Germination was fine, about 85%. Plants are super hardy. Accidentally left seedlings out overnight in frost and they were all fine the next morning. They are growing fast and are very sturdy.
