How to Grow from Seeds:

Seed Sowing:
Sow seeds directly in the final pot or garden bed because Sweet Sultan does not respond particularly well to root disturbance. Cover the seeds lightly with fine soil. RHS also recommends direct sowing because the plants can resent root disturbance.

Germination:
Seeds generally germinate within approximately 7–14 days under suitable conditions.

Spacing:
Maintain approximately 8–12 inches spacing between plants for healthy branching and good airflow.

Watering:
Keep the soil lightly moist during germination and early growth. Once established, water moderately and avoid waterlogging.

Soil Requirement:
Use fertile, light and well-drained soil. Neutral to slightly alkaline, well-drained soil is suitable.

Sunlight:
Provide full sunlight for healthy growth and better flowering. Sweet Sultan performs best in a sunny location.

Fertilization:
Mix mature organic compost into the soil before sowing. During active growth, a mild flowering fertilizer can be applied according to the product instructions.
