How to Plant Arkwright Seeds To begin indoors, surface sow seeds and press them in lightly, as they require light to germinate. Maintain a temperature range of 60°F to 70°F and seeds will typically sprout in 7 to 21 days. Use well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral starting soil. Keep the soil moist until germination. After completing the hardening off process, it is best to transplant the seedlings outdoors after the last frost has passed. Leave about one foot of space between plants. To encourage branching and profuse blooming, pinch the plant back when setting it out. For direct sowing outdoors, make sure there is no threat of frost and begin surface sowing in your garden from spring to summer. Mix about an inch of compost into the soil at the time of planting, and top-dress every spring with a thin layer. This plant requires medium water use, approximately one inch of water per week to keep the soil evenly moist. How to Care for Arkwright Water deeply throughout the growing season.
