Growing method

Maintain a temperature of 21°C during the day and 15°C at night for optimal germination. Transplant young plants outdoors after the last frost, in a sunny or partially shaded location. Germination generally takes 14 to 21 days in potting soil maintained at 21 D - 15 N. The sowing schedule for this variety is as follows: indoors, 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. To plant this variety, first choose a location corresponding to its sun exposure: full sun. Indoors: A well-drained and porous seed-starting mix is ideal to prevent overwatering. Outdoors: Cool, humus-rich soil. This variety benefits from soil that retains moisture during its growth; regular checks below the surface help to intervene before wilting while avoiding saturating the root ball. Plan for this variety's place in the flowerbed, considering its height of 40 cm (15.7 inches). When designing the planting, allow 25 cm (9.8 inches) of spread for each plant of this variety. Use this variety at the edge of an accessible planting area; its compact silhouette is best appreciated when taller plants do not overshadow it.
