DAYS TO GERMINATION:

3-5 days at 80-85°F (27-29°C)

SOWING:

Transplant (recommended) - Sow into 72-cell flats or preferred seedling container 4 weeks before planting out. Cover seeds. A heat mat will help maintain an accurate temperature. Lower temperatures will result in slower germination: 5-7 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress. Direct seed - Sow 1/4" deep. Succession-sow/plant every 2 weeks for prolonged yields of high-quality stems. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production. Very sensitive to frost.

LIGHT PREFERENCE:

Sun.

PLANT HEIGHT:

Varies. No support is necessary.

PLANT SPACING:

9-12".

HARDINESS ZONES:

Annual.

HARVEST:

Before completely open. Stem is firm from point of cut to just below the bloom.

SOIL REQUIREMENTS:

Fertile soil rich in organic matter. pH: 6.3-6.8 preferred.
