Balsam Single Care

• Propagate by seed - Balsam is a prolific self-sower
• After one season of growth, it generally reappears from self-sown seeds the next year
• After frost has passed, scatter seeds where desired, or sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost
• Do not cover the seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate
• Until the seeds germinate, cover the seed trays with clear plastic to maintain high humidity
• Water from below to prevent damping off
• Germination temperature: 65 F to 70 F Days to emergence: 7 to 14
