For spring transplants, start seedlings indoors in a soilless mix in early April. Maintain a temperature of 75-80°F (24-27°C) to encourage germination in 15-25 days. After germination, place seedlings in bright light at a slightly cooler temperature, then harden them off before transplanting to a full sun location after the last frost.
For a more direct approach, sow seeds in the garden in mid to late June, in well-drained, warm soil. Water sparingly and allow seedlings to establish.
Bring a touch of flamboyant elegance to your outdoor spaces with Tritoma 'Pfitzers Hybrid', a true marvel for lovers of colorful gardens.
