Agrotechnics.
Sowing: for spring, abundant flowering - June-July on seedling beds. They are transplanted to a permanent place in August - September.
For summer flowering - for seedlings in several periods starting from February. Seeds are placed on the surface of a moistened and compacted substrate, lightly sprinkling the seeds with soil.
Crops are sprayed from a spray bottle and covered with glass. Seedlings dive at the stage of 1-2 true leaves. Planted in open ground in May - June at a distance of 10-15 cm between plants.
Care: grows best on loose, fertile, well-moistened soils. Watering is very important, as plants do not bloom on dry soil. To prolong flowering, faded flowers must be removed.
They react negatively to fresh organic fertilizers.
Flowering: when growing seedlings - from July until frost, when sowing seeds in open ground - the next year from early spring to late autumn.
