Growing Information
Sow about ¼ inch deep after the danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 4–6 weeks before your last frost. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil and provide consistent water and nutrition throughout the season.
Regular cutting and deadheading encourage more flowers. For a longer harvest, sow another small planting every few weeks during the early part of your growing season.
Marion’s Note
Sunset is one of those mixes I love walking through because you never know exactly what you’ll find. Watch for the plants that catch your eye, sometimes the most interesting flower in the row is the one you weren’t expecting.
Breeding note: This is an open-pollinated mix, so exact colors and flower forms cannot be guaranteed. That variation is part of the adventure.
