• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap (to hold in moisture)
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light; full sun outdoors.
• Temperature: Around 65°F (18°C) for germination.

Germination

• Space plants 12-18 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Water: Water regularly until established; needs little water afterward.
• Fertilizer: Poor to average, well-drained soil is ideal; avoid rich, soggy soil.
• Shear plants back by about half after flowering to keep a tidy form.
