How to Plant Pink Rose Balsam from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Cool Climates: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
  • Warm Climates: Direct sow outdoors after the last frost when soil warms to 65°F (18°C).

Seed Preparation

  1. Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil.
  2. Loosen the soil and add compost or organic matter.
  3. Space plants 8-12 inches apart for air circulation.

Direct Sowing Outdoors

(For Warmer Climates)

  1. Sow seeds directly in the prepared bed after the last frost.
  2. Cover lightly with soil and keep moist.
  3. Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart when they reach 2-3 inches tall.

Starting Seeds Indoors

(Recommended for Early Blooms)

  1. Fill seed trays with moist seed-starting mix.
  2. Sprinkle seeds on top and press lightly into the soil.
  3. Cover with a thin layer of soil (1/8 inch deep).
  4. Mist with water and keep moist but not soggy.
  5. Place in a warm, bright area (70-75°F or 21-24°C).
  6. Germination occurs in 7-14 days.
  7. Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, harden off before transplanting outdoors.

Pro Tip

It self-seeds easily, so let some flowers go to seed for blooms next year! Pinch back stems for bushier growth.

Bonus: The camellia-like blooms attract butterflies and add vintage charm to any garden!
