How to plant: Scatter seeds shallowly in a bright, sunny area in the summer for fall blooms or in late winter for spring/summer blooms. Recommend preparing the area for seed sowing by removing weeds, and adding a thin layer of healthy soil mixture of native soil, compost, sand, and garden soil for planting. Check that the soil is healthy, loamy, medium-moist, and well-drained. Water when soil dries; keep the seeds moist, but do not overwater until they are sprouted. Recommend to mulch sprouts if planted in winter. Flowers will go dormant in winter and mulch protects them. Blooms March through November.
