Sowing: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-drained soil or grow bags. Keep soil moist during germination; light exposure can help improve germination rates.
Growing: Requires full sun and moderate watering during establishment; tolerates dry spells well once mature. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot in this drought-adapted plant.
Blooming: Flowers typically appear 60-75 days after sowing and continue blooming through the warm season. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
