How to grow Fuchsia Sunset Purslane seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost when the soil has warmed.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining, sandy potting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Scatter the tiny seeds on the surface of moist mix and press lightly; do not cover, as the seeds need light to germinate.
• Keep the surface evenly moist until germination.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun for germination and the best blooms.
• Temperature: 70-85°F (21-29°C) for germination.
• Humidity: Cover with a dome or plastic wrap until seeds sprout.

Germination

• Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days.
• Remove the cover once seedlings emerge and give them full sun.

Transplanting

• Transplant after all danger of frost has passed.
• Harden off gradually over 7-10 days before planting out.
• Thin or space plants 6-8 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun.
• Water: Keep evenly moist until established, then allow the soil to dry between waterings; the succulent leaves store water.
• Fertilizer: Little feeding is needed; a light feeding at the start of summer can boost flowering.

Bloom Time:

Summer until frost.
