Planting Instructions (SEO‑optimized):

• Scarify seeds lightly (nick or sand) to improve germination. • Direct‑sow in fall or early spring for strongest plants. • Cover seeds 1/8 inch deep in lean, well-drained soil. • Germination occurs in 14–30 days depending on temperature. • Space plants 12–18 inches apart for spreading growth. • Avoid rich soil—Wine Cups prefer low fertility. • Water lightly during establishment; drought tolerance increases with maturity.
