Once seedlings emerge, provide them with adequate light and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting into their permanent garden location. By following these steps, The seeds will germinate reliably, eventually producing vibrant, colorful blooms that are characteristic of this unique wildflower species.
