How to grow

Sow after the last frost in full sun. Because each plant produces a single bloom, plant in stages every couple of weeks for season-long flowers. Space plants 4 to 8 inches apart, using wider spacing to increase bloom size. Cut the stems when blooms first open for the longest vase life.
