Planting Instructions

1. Sow seeds in spring or autumn for optimal germination rates.
2. Use a well-draining seed-raising mix with good aeration.
3. Lightly cover seeds with fine soil, approximately 3-5mm deep.
4. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination (14-35 days).
5. Transplant seedlings when they have developed several sets of true leaves.
6. Choose a sunny position with excellent drainage for best results.

Care Tips

• Plant in full sun with good drainage for optimal flowering and growth.
• Water through the first summer, then minimal care once established.
• Trim lightly after flowering to encourage a neater form and fresh growth.
• Avoid heavy fertilizers - native plants prefer low-nutrient conditions.
• Perfect for rockeries, native gardens, and mixed border plantings.
