Do not allow plants to become root bound and avoid disturbing roots; transplant shock or other stress events may cause double-flowering varieties to produce single blooms for a period following stress. Direct seed - After last frost. Succession-sow/plant every two weeks for prolonged yields. Pinching of initial bud or bloom and subsequent deadheading is recommended to encourage strong branching and bloom production.
