About Love in a Puff Flower Seeds
Love in a Puff Flower Seeds grow in full sun positions. Expect 72 to 120 inches at maturity. Flowering runs summer. The figures below are the ones on the packets in this group; each product page carries the exact numbers for that variety.
When to plant
Plant in spring. Seed can be started indoors ahead of the season or sown straight into prepared ground once it has warmed. Hardy in zones 7 to 10 — your local frost dates decide the exact week.
Where to plant
Choose a site in full sun. Water needs are high once the plants are established. Free-draining soil matters more than rich soil; seed sown into ground that stays wet rots before it germinates. Allow 11 inches between plants so air can move between them. Plan for 72 to 120 inches of growth when you place them in a bed or border.
How to plant
Sow 1/2 inch deep, spaced 11 inches apart. This seed needs light to germinate, so press it onto the surface and firm it in rather than burying it. Water gently to settle the soil, then keep the surface evenly moist until seedlings or shoots appear. Indoor starts do best in warmth and bright light; harden the seedlings off over a week before planting out.
How to care
Keep watering high, at the base of the plant rather than over the leaves. Grown as an annual, so plan to sow again next season. Flowers appear summer; cutting or deadheading regularly keeps more coming.
