Description

When preparing a site before the first seeds are sown, Streptocarpus (Streptocarpus spp.) can be seed-started for garden borders and beds. Match this annual garden plant with full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil.

During the early establishment period, Sow in prepared growing medium when it reaches the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged while seedlings establish, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy, with a calm routine focused on steady garden habits after sowing.
