SOWING: Transplant - Sow 6-8 weeks before last frost. Cover seed lightly with about 1/8" growing media. Keep soil surface moist. Transplant to cell packs or larger containers about 3 weeks after sowing.
You should perform a germination test to what percent of the seeds sprout. If half of the ones you sow sprout. Then you plant multiple seeds into a hole. Generally if you plant multiple seeds into a hole, if both plants grow out you will have to cut, kill or transplant the secondary (usually weaker) plant.
In general, two to three seeds should be planted per hole. Seeds do not have 100% germination rates, so not every seed planted will sprout. Overseeding holes, cells, or pots will help ensure that the number of plants you desire will grow (or more!).
Plant it in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Although it is drought tolerant once established, provide moderate moisture for better flower production. It is available as seed and as plants. It is easily grown from seed but is best started indoors 4-6 weeks before the average last frost.. . . . .364011235645!]0000000000000009783314147101!]
