Cultivation method:
Sow the seeds indoors approximately 11 to 14 weeks before the last frost. Use a light potting mix and maintain a temperature of 20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F) to ensure good germination. The seeds need light to germinate, so avoid covering them with soil. Once the seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them into individual pots. After the risk of frost has passed, transplant the plants outdoors to a sunny location. Water regularly, but not excessively, and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to encourage continuous flowering.
With its vibrant shine and exceptional durability, Pétchoa Caliburst™ Yellow F1 is ideal for brightening up your containers, hanging baskets and flower beds throughout the summer season.
