How to grow:
Sow seeds directly outdoors from mid-April to mid-May in well-drained, sunny soil. Cover seeds lightly and keep soil moist until germination, which occurs in 7 to 10 days. Thin plants to 8 inches apart once established. This variety tolerates light frost but does not transplant well, so direct sowing is important.
These heirloom flowers bring a touch of charm and simplicity to your garden while requiring little maintenance.
