When to Grow

Bizarre Mix needs 110 days to mature, so start the seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date rather than waiting to sow outdoors. Surface sow; germination takes 10 to 14 days at an ideal germination temperature of 60 to 70°F. Transplant after the last frost into full sun, 6 to 12 inches apart. That long season is what lets the marbled and mottled blooms open right across the mix instead of only the earliest colors.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Seeds germinate in 7-21 days.
  • Sow seeds 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant outdoors after last frost.
  • Ideal germination temperature is 60-70 F.

How to Grow

  • Prefers full sun.
  • Provide rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 6-12 inches apart.
  • Pinch the main growing stems when plants are 2-4 inches tall; this helps to keep plants well branched.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Leaf spots, rusts and molds can be a result of poor air circulation.
  • To avoid, space plants farther apart and keep foliage dry.

How to Save Seeds

  • Seeds are easy to collect.
  • They are super small and contained within capsules that will turn brown and dry when seeds are ready to harvest.
  • Hand pick the capsules individually or snip stalks and shake seeds free into a paper bag.
  • Store in a cool, dark, dry, place.
