Double Moss Rose mixed seeds typically produce flowers in pink, red, orange, yellow, and white shades. The exact color combination and distribution can vary between seed batches, creating a colorful mixture of rose-like double blooms.
Moss Rose flowers respond to sunlight and usually open fully in bright sunshine. They may close during cloudy weather, in low light, or toward evening. This natural flowering behavior is normal and does not necessarily indicate a problem with the plant.
Scatter the tiny seeds over moist, well-drained soil and gently press them onto the surface without covering them completely. Provide warmth, sunlight, and consistent light moisture. Germination generally takes around 7–14 days under suitable conditions.
