Planting options for flexible timing

Whether you’re aiming for an early-season display or a later-season show, this pack supports two reliable routes:

• Spring planting: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date, then transplant after hardening off once frost risk passes.
• Fall planting: Direct sow 6 weeks before the first expected frost to establish roots before winter and bloom earlier next season.

Indoor seed starting: steps that set you up for success

• Fill cell trays with a seed starting mix and press seeds lightly into the surface; seeds should not be covered as they need light to germinate.
• Cover with a thin layer of vermiculite to help retain moisture while still allowing light access.
• Maintain a steady 65–70 °F (18–21 °C) and keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Provide 14–16 hours of light daily with grow lights, and transplant when seedlings have 2–3 true leaves.

Direct sow: how to plant outdoors

• Loosen soil 6–8 inches deep and amend with compost or well-rotted manure for fertility.
• Sow seeds on the soil surface and press lightly without covering; space 12–18 inches apart.
• Water gently and keep moist until germination occurs.

Growing conditions you can expect

• Light: Full sun, with 6+ hours of direct light daily to support strong blooms.
• Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil; tolerates a slightly alkaline pH between 6.0 and 8.0.
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment; once established, the plant is drought-tolerant.
• Temperature: Prefers 55–65 °F (13–18 °C) and can tolerate heat and cold swings.
• USDA Zones: 3–7; perennial behavior in these areas for year-after-year display.

Growth highlights include a mature height of about 90 cm (36 inches) and a bloom window that runs from mid-summer to late autumn, making it a reliable vertical accent for beds and borders. The flowers offer a refined purple hue and a texture that stands out against foliage, delivering visible drama without crowding neighboring plants.
