Direct sow Star Series after the last frost once soils are warm, or start indoors in cell trays 3 to 4 weeks before transplanting. Sow 0.25 inch deep and keep the soil lightly moist through germination. Transplant gently while young and space plants 8 to 10 inches apart in full sun.
For the best flowering, avoid over-fertilizing with high nitrogen and water at the base to keep foliage dry. Star Series performs well in heat and summer humidity, and it is a dependable choice for borders, baskets, and mass plantings where steady bloom is needed.
