thrift

Growing from seed

Start thrift indoors about 8 weeks before your last frost. Seeds usually come up in around 14 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spaced about 30 cm apart. Expect the first blooms in roughly 120 days.

Keep track of the seeds you own.
