Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prevent self-seeding. Minimal pruning is otherwise needed; remove any dead or damaged stems in early spring.
Easily grown from seeds sown directly outdoors after the last frost. Seeds can also be started indoors a few weeks prior to transplanting.
Not typically repotted as it is an annual. If grown in containers, ensure adequate drainage and repot only if root-bound, usually into a slightly larger pot.
