NIKA SEEDS – Flowers Seep Monkeyflower Mix Mimulus Mix Annual – 1000 Seeds

 Monkeyflower Mix (Mimulus)An annual plant with compact bushes, 6-10 (15-25 cm) high. Fragrant flowers, 1-2 (3-5 cm) in diameter, are collected in racemose inflorescences of various colors. It is used to decorate curbs, flower beds, balcony boxes, and garden vases.Planting instructions:  Soak the mix from the bottom up, by setting your container in a flat that contains an inch or so of lukewarm water. Wait a couple of minutes until the surface of the mix has absorbed enough water to be damp, but not soggy. Remove the container from the flat and cover it loosely with plastic wrap. Set it in a warm, bright spot, such as under grow lights. Expect the seeds to germinate in one to three weeks. Remove the plastic wrap when they begin to sprout, but continue to water as necessary from the bottom if the soil begins to dry out. Separate the seedlings, once they are large enough to handle, and transplant them into cell packs filled with a mixture of half seed-starting mix and half potting soil. Pick up the seedlings by their leaves to avoid breaking their stems. Allow seedlings to harden off for a couple of weeks before planting by exposing them gradually to a little more sun outside every day. Select a location, in either your garden or window box, that gets sun to partial or bright shade. Pick a shady spot if your summers are hot. Look for an area where the soil stays continuously damp. After all danger of frost has passed, plant the seedlings about six inches apart.
