Sowing and bloom

Sow about 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil. Product guidance lists a soil temperature of 60–70°F and germination in approximately 20–40 days. Cooler conditions can extend the bloom period, and established plants may reseed where conditions are favorable.

The flowers are traditionally used as edible garnishes. If growing them for food, use only garden inputs labeled for edible crops and follow all applicable directions. Germination, bloom time, and days to maturity vary with climate, planting date, and care.
