Annual in Zones 3-10. Prefers Full Sun to Part Shade. Very Easy to Grow From Seed. Succulent branches produce carnation like blooms in many vibrant colors including cherry red, lavender, purple, yellow, orange, white and pink. Makes a great container plant or as a ground cover. Plants do not grow more than 6 inches tall. Tolerates dry hot conditions very well. Seed Germination: To start indoors: Start your seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost date in your area. · Use a good seed starting medium such as Jiffy Mix. Fill seed flat with soil. Pre-moisten the soil and scatter the seeds lightly and evenly over the surface. · Gently tamp down seeds into the soil so they are just covered. · Place seed flat in a sunny location and keep moist using a fine misting spray until germination. Seeds will germinate within 7-10 days. · Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. SUGGESTON: Start seeds direct in pots or containers instead of transplanting. Thin seedlings as needed. Please message me with any problems I am sure we can work it out! Just take a minute, send me a message and I am sure I can make you happy.
