How to grow Five Spot seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: May be started 6-8 weeks before the last frost in peat pots, but direct sowing is recommended since seedlings dislike transplanting.
• Outdoors: Direct sow in early spring, pressing lightly into the surface of the soil.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or peat pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Press the seeds lightly into the surface of moist soil; they need light to germinate, so do not bury them.
• Sow thinly and keep the soil lightly moist until germination.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light.
• Temperature: 60-70°F (15-21°C); seeds prefer cool conditions.

Germination

• Seeds typically germinate in 10-20 days.
• Keep soil lightly moist; avoid letting seedlings dry out.

Transplanting

• Thin or transplant seedlings when they can be handled safely.
• Space plants 6-8 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade; plants dislike excessive heat.
• Water: Water regularly; plants wither quickly in dry soil.
• Plants die with the first frost but may reseed for the following year.

Bloom Time:

Late spring to early summer.
