- PLANTING TIPS: For healthy growth, sow 2-3 of our garden seeds per hole, which ensures good germination and fuller plants. Space each plant 18 inches apart to allow enough room for growth and prevent overcrowding. Proper spacing supports better air circulation, reducing the risk of disease and promoting healthy development. This setup helps the plant reach its full potential for blooms.
