HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Plant the seeds indoors about 10-12 weeks before the last frost of spring. In a germination flat, press the seed into the surface of the soil; this seed needs light to germinate. Since this seed is tiny, mixing it with sand may help it spread evenly. Keep the soil lightly moist and in a warm place until germination, which usually takes 7-14 days. As soon as the seedlings can safely be handled, transplant them into individual pots; plant them outdoors after the last chance of frost.
Growing: Water seedlings until they become established. Mature plants tolerate some drought, though they flourish with occasional watering. Keep in mind that this plant does not like getting its foliage and blooms wet, and should be watered accordingly. To encourage branching, pinch back the tips as they grow. For extended blooming, remove the spent blossoms.This spreading, plant makes an excellent choice for hanging baskets, borders, and containers; it also attracts hummingbirds and butterflies, and has good pest resistance. This plant tolerates high heat well.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, small pods will form that eventually open and release their seeds. Gather the seeds as soon as the pods have begun to open; watch them carefully to prevent loss, since the seeds can easily be blown away by the wind. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place.
