Step 3: Sow the Seeds
Scatter the seeds directly in the garden bed or containers. Cover them lightly with approximately 3–5 mm of soil. Direct sowing is preferred because the plant develops a long taproot and does not transplant easily.

Step 4: Water and Encourage Germination
Water gently after sowing to maintain consistent soil moisture. Avoid heavy watering that can wash away the seeds or cause waterlogging. Germination generally takes around 10–14 days under favorable conditions.

Can Love in a Mist flowers be used for dried flower arrangements?
Yes. Love in a Mist is particularly popular for its decorative seed pods, which can be harvested and dried for floral arrangements.
