Helipterum - Pierrot Red Seeds
Start helipterum seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.
Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and do not cover, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days.
Once the last frost has passed, transplant seedlings to a sunny outdoor location, spacing plants 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) apart for optimal growth. Helipterum thrives in well-draining soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Regular deadheading will encourage prolonged blooming throughout the season.
