• Outdoors: Sow stratified seeds outdoors in early spring.

Prepare Your Materials

• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Soak seeds 24 hours, then cold stratify in damp vermiculite in the refrigerator for 30-90 days.
• Sow 1/8-1/4 inch deep; keep in a warm, bright spot.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light.
• Temperature: Around 65-70°F (18-21°C) after stratification.

Germination

• Pot up seedlings individually once large enough to handle.

Transplanting

• Harden off before planting out
• Space 6-10 feet apart at their permanent site

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun for the best flowering.
