Cold stratify seeds in refrigerator for two weeks before starting seeds. Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date. Harden off and transplant seedlings when weather is still cool.
Seeds can also be sown directly into the garden. Sow them shallowly or on the surface of well-draining soil in late fall for natural stratification.
Harvesting
Cut stems in the early morning or late evening when the flowers are firm and the petals are flat but not yet curled. Choose younger, less open blooms for longer vase life.
