SOWING

• Prepare the planting area
• Pull and rake out any weeds. Amend soil with compost and/or add organic granular fertilizer. 
  
• Keep well watered for optimum germination
• Label - sow the seeds in rows or spaces where it is easy to identify
• Keep well weeded, seedlings don’t compete well with weeds.       

 GROWING

• Keep watered during dry spells, mulching will help retain moisture
• Add an organic fertilizer mid-season helps keep the plants blooming strong until the end of the season
• Deadhead–removing all the dead or dying blooms helps keep the plant flowering 

HARVESTING

• Harvest in the morning
• Use a sharp tool
• Place in a bucket of water as you cut
• Strip the leaves off the stem, prolongs longevity
• Cut stems every day or two for a longer vase life
• Misting with a spray bottle keeps color and petals fresh
