Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost, surface sowing and keeping the mix moist until the seeds sprout. Transplant outdoors after the last frost, since lace flower is a frost-tender annual. Plants take 95 to 110 days to reach bloom. Succession sow every 3 weeks from late spring to midsummer for continuous blooms.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost.
  • Sow seeds 1/16 in deep.
  • Keep moist until seeds sprout.
  • The ideal soil temperature for germination is 70 F.
  • Seeds sprout in 14-21 days.

How to Grow

  • Plant in full to partial sun in a fertile, well-draining location.
  • In particularly hot climates lace flower will benefit from afternoon shade.
  • Space plants 8-12 in apart.
  • Succession sow every 3 weeks from late spring to mid-summer for continuous blooms.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Fertilize occasionally if the lace flower is planted in nutrient-poor soil.

How to Save Seeds

  • Shake dried flower heads over a paper bag or a plate.
  • Use your hands to remove any remaining seeds from the flower head.
  • Store in a cool, dry, and dark place until you are ready to plant.
