Key Features:
Vibrant, Airy Blooms: Produces abundant, long-stemmed flowers over feathery green foliage, ideal for garden borders and fresh cut-flower vases.
Pollinator Magnet: Naturally attracts butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects to boost pollination in your kitchen garden.
Heat-Tolerant & Low-Maintenance: Thrives in warm weather and even tolerates average or slightly poor soil with minimal care.
Container Friendly: Ideal for open garden beds, flower borders, balcony pots, and medium grow bags (9″x9″ or 12″x12″).
Quick Growing Guide:
Sunlight: Full sun (6+ hours daily).
Soil: Loose, well-draining soil; avoid overly rich, high-nitrogen soil as it encourages leaves over flowers.
Sowing: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep; keep soil lightly moist until germination (5–10 days). Space plants 10–12 inches apart.
Blooming Time: Begins flowering in approximately 50–65 days after sowing; deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering.
