Step-by-Step Growing Instructions
1. Seed Preparation:
Soak seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours before sowing to improve germination rates.
2. Soil Preparation:
Use well-draining soil enriched with organic matter like compost or manure.
Maintain a neutral to slightly acidic soil pH (6.0–7.5).
3. Sowing the Seeds:
Choose a sunny spot or an area with partial shade.
Plant seeds directly in the garden or in pots, sowing them 1/2 inch deep.
Space seeds 18–24 inches apart to allow for bushy growth.
Lightly cover the seeds with soil and water gently.
4. Watering:
Water immediately after sowing to moisten the soil.
Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which takes 7–14 days.
Once established, water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions.
5. Light Requirements:
Provide full sun for the best flowering results. The plant can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer blooms.
6. Fertilization:
Incorporate a balanced fertilizer or compost into the soil at planting.
Feed monthly with a liquid fertilizer during the growing season to encourage healthy blooms.
7. Care and Maintenance:
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming.
Weeding: Keep the area around the plants weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients.
Pruning: Trim back overgrown stems to maintain the plant’s shape and vigor.
8. Pests and Diseases:
The plant is generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap if needed.
9. Blooming Period:
In Pakistan, expect flowers to bloom from May to October, depending on the sowing time.
10. Overwintering (for frost-prone areas):
In frost-free areas, the plant can grow year-round.
In colder regions, dig up the tubers after flowering, let them dry, and store them in a cool, dark place until spring.
