How to grow Lavender Candytuft seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, once the soil has warmed to at least 65°F (18°C).

Prepare Your Materials

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

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow about 1/16 inch deep — cover very lightly or simply press seeds into the soil surface.
• Keep the soil consistently moist until germination.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun.
• Temperature: 55-65°F (13-18°C) — candytuft prefers cooler germination temperatures.

Germination

• 14-21 days.
• Thin seedlings to give each plant room; grow on in full sun.

Transplanting

• Plant out after the last frost; harden seedlings off first.
• Spacing: Thin to about 8 inches apart

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun to partial shade.
• Water: Water moderately; candytuft dislikes damp, soggy conditions.
• Fertilizer: Light feeding only if needed — it blooms well in average soil.
• Sow in succession every few weeks for a longer season of bloom.
