Select a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Sow seeds in early spring, lightly covering with soil. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge.
Thin seedlings to allow proper spacing for growth. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy plants.
Provide support for taller varieties to prevent bending or breaking. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.
Monitor for pests and diseases, taking prompt action if needed. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Enjoy the beautiful blooms!
As the season ends, allow some flowers to go to seed for natural reseeding. Cut back plants in fall to prepare for winter dormancy.
In spring, watch for new growth to emerge. With proper care and maintenance, your perennial flowers will continue to thrive and bloom year after year.
