Once seedlings have developed and outdoor temperatures are stable, transplant them outdoors at the beginning of May. Choose shaded or partially shaded spots such as flower beds, borders, pots, or hanging baskets. Space the plants to allow for their compact growth of up to 25 cm, ensuring they have enough room to display their vibrant, mixed-colored blooms throughout the season.
