Growing Information:
Sow seeds directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed or start indoors 2-4 weeks before planting time. Soaking seeds overnight before planting may help speed germination. Plant seeds approximately 1/2 inch deep in well-drained soil. Germination generally occurs within 7-14 days at temperatures of 65-75°F. Plants perform best in full sun but tolerate light afternoon shade in warmer climates. Alaska Tip Top Salmon typically reaches 10-12 inches in height and spreads 12-18 inches, forming compact mounds of attractive foliage and flowers.
