Planting Instructions

1. Sow seeds in spring or autumn when temperatures are moderate.
2. Use a well-draining native plant potting mix with good aeration.
3. Lightly cover seeds with fine soil, approximately 3-5mm deep.
4. Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged during germination (21-42 days).
5. Transplant seedlings when they reach 10-15cm in height.
6. Choose a sunny, well-draining position with plenty of space for growth.

Care Tips

• Plant in full sun with excellent drainage - avoid heavy clay or waterlogged soils.
• Water regularly during first year, then only during extended dry periods.
• Apply low-phosphorus native plant fertilizer sparingly in spring.
• Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage dense growth.
• Excellent for attracting native birds and creating wildlife habitat.
