Cultivation and gardening tips

• When to sow: directly outdoors after the last frost or in trays 4 to 6 weeks before if you plan to transplant. In cooler climates, opt for early spring or mild autumn sowing when temperatures are suitable.
• Depth and spacing: sow on the surface and lightly cover with 0.5 to 1 cm of soil; space plants about 20 to 25 cm apart to encourage beautiful branching and abundant flowering.
• Soil and drainage: prefer light, well-drained soil; improve texture with mature compost, avoid heavy soils that retain moisture around the roots.
• Care and maintenance: water regularly but without excess; trim lightly after the first wave of flowering to encourage a second flush. Consider mulching to retain moisture and limit weeds.
• Seasonal maintenance: deadhead faded flowers to prolong the flowering period; monitor for signs of mold or fungal attack in humid conditions and ensure good air circulation around the plants.

• Gardeners who want a quick colorful effect with little effort.
