Sowing: Direct sow in spring, after the soil warms. Press the seed into the surface of the soil, since it needs light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.

The seed can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date of spring. Keep the soil lightly moist, and transplant the seedlings as soon as there is no chance of frost.

Growing: Keep the plants watered, since they do not appreciate dry soil. To encourage rebloom, cut the plant back by one third. In the heat of summer, blooming will decrease.

This plant makes an excellent ground cover or container plant, and attracts butterflies and bees. It may reseed in good growing conditions.

This seed can also be started indoors 8-10 weeks before planting in the spring. Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established

Mature plants tolerate occasional drought, though they prefer consistently moist soil and will benefit from watering in dry weather.

This plant can spread vigorously once established; to help prevent this, cut the plant back after blooming has finished. Regular deadheading will increase bloom. This plant attracts bees and butterflies, and also makes an excellent choice for containers, borders, or as a ground cover.

Sowing: Direct sow 1/8" deep in deeply worked, rich soil. In warm regions the seed can be planted in fall for earlier bloom, while early spring planting is a better time for areas with cold winters.

To start the seed indoors, sow 1/8" deep in a flat kept evenly moist and at a temperature of 60 degrees F. This seed germinates rather slowly, but should sprout within 20-30 days. Transplant the seedlings when there is no chance of frost.

Growing: Water the plants regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist. This plant tolerates sandy or clay soils. Avoid overwatering, since excess moisture may cause root rot. The plants should bloom in their first season if started early; otherwise, they will begin blooming in the following summer.

Sowing: Direct sow creeping thyme seeds in early spring, planting just below the surface of the soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 3-4 weeks. This plant can also be started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost of spring.

Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Though they prefer average or slightly moist soil, mature plants tolerate drought and poor soil as well as rocky soil or gravel. This plant will self-seed readily, and attracts butterflies and bees.

It makes an excellent ground cover or border plant. Mature plants can be divided. Harvesting: Creeping thyme blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors as ground cover.

Sowing: Direct sow Black-Eyed Susan (Gloriosa Daisy) seeds in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this plant needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting.

Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually takes 2-3 weeks. Gloriosa Daisy seeds can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in spring. Keep seedlings lightly moist, and transplant them as soon as they have developed several leaves.

Direct sow in early fall, sowing the seed just below the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seed with moist sand and store it in the refrigerator for 60 days before direct sowing after the last frost. The seed can also be started indoors, planted just below the surface of a flat and kept at a temperature of 60-65 degrees F until germination; keep the soil lightly moist.

Plant in fertile, moist, well-drained soil and full sun or partial shade; this flower appreciates being shielded from the midday sun. Keep the seedlings watered and control weeds. Mature plants tolerate some dryness, but should be watered in the heat of summer. Hot and humid weather may cause the plant to wilt, since this plant prefers cool weather and can survive light frosts.
