How to Grow and Get the Most Out of It

• Exposure: choose a location in full sun to promote abundant flowering and intense colors.
• Soil: well-drained, fertile soil or amended with light compost; avoid heavy soils that retain water.
• Sowing and planting: sow directly when the danger of frost has passed or start indoors and then transplant carefully. Space young plants to allow good air circulation and prevent foliar diseases.
• Watering and maintenance: water regularly without letting the soil become waterlogged. Light weeding and thinning if necessary to prevent flowers from being shaded.
• Growth and flowering: allow plants to branch out to multiply floral stems. Well-developed stems produce more durable bouquets and larger flowers.
• Seasonal maintenance: remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms and maintain a tidy appearance throughout the summer.

Practical Tips and Tricks

• Combine this blend with plants of different growth habits to create layers of color and texture in your flower beds.
• For homemade bouquets, cut the stems just above a node and prioritize fresh flowers for better vase life.
• Experiment with small quantities of seeds sown on different dates to stagger flowering and enjoy a peak of color over an extended period.
• If planting in pots, choose containers deep enough to allow for healthy root development and stable growth of the floral stems.
