How to Grow:
- Sowing: Sow seeds indoors from late winter to early spring or directly outdoors after the last frost. Lightly cover seeds with fine soil, as they require light for germination.
- Germination: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 14-21 days.
- Transplanting: If starting indoors, transplant seedlings into individual pots once they are large enough to handle. Harden off before planting outdoors in late spring.
- Planting: Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. Space plants 30-45cm (12-18 inches) apart to allow for healthy growth.
- Care: Water regularly, especially during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming. Platycodon is generally low-maintenance and can tolerate some drought once established.
