Suggested Use: Raised flower beds, half wooden barrels.

Miscellaneous: Cross-pollination will occur in future generations. To keep plants true to color, remove any plant that blooms in off-color shades other than red-maroon as soon as possible.

Planting depth: 1/4 inch deep. This gives the seed the benefits of having the shortest distance to travel to the surface while also being deep enough to keep moisture. For in-depth planting instructions click here.
