Planting Details
| Seed Depth | ¼" |
|---|---|
| Seed Spacing | A group of 3 seeds every 8" – 10" |
| Thinning | When 1" – 2" tall, thin to 1 every 8" – 10" |
| Germination | 14 – 28 days |
| Start Indoors | 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date. Not recommended; does not transplant well. Use biodegradable pots to avoid root disturbance. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks before your average last frost date, or in late summer/fall for blooms the following season. Mild Climates: Sow in fall for winter bloom. |
| Special Sowing | For optimum germination, chill seed in the refrigerator for 5 days before sowing. |
| Special Care | May require staking, especially if plants are not getting enough sun. Plants may get mildew in part shade; full sun and proper spacing will hinder mildew. To extend bloom season, increase size of existing flowers, and prevent reseeding, remove spent flowers. Successive sowings will provide a more continuous bloom period. |
| Growing & Harvesting | For longest vase life, harvest in the morning, choosing buds that are about half open. Change vase water frequently. |

- Meryss J. P.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars4/19/26Seeing very little germination.
Wanted these for my Granddaughter Wedding this Fall. So far not showing any signs of germination. Wish I would have started in house under lights instead of Winter Sowing. Wish I had another pack of seeds. My other bachelor button self sowed and have good size plants growing 6 inches tall.

I love ordering seeds, and even looking at them organized in a box, just wish I'd get them planted so I'd have a picture to show off.
