Low-Maintenance Beauty: • Ideal for beginners and seasoned gardeners, Garden Balsam thrives with minimal care. • Quick to bloom, it fills your garden with color all summer long. 3. Compact Growth: • Perfect for small gardens, containers, or as border plants, thanks to its compact and bushy habit. 4.

Plant Characteristics

Growing Garden Balsam from Seeds
1. Seed Sowing: • Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost or start indoors 4–6 weeks earlier. • Scatter seeds over moist, fertile soil and lightly press them in. Avoid deep planting, as they need light to germinate. 2. Germination: • Seeds germinate within 7–14 days at a temperature of 20–25°C. 3. Ideal Conditions: • Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade for optimal flowering. • Soil: Well-draining, rich soil with moderate moisture levels. 4. Plant Spacing: • Space plants 20–30 cm apart to allow for proper airflow and prevent overcrowding.
Care and Maintenance
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Balsam thrives with regular watering, especially in hot weather. • Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks to encourage vibrant blooms. • Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to extend the blooming period and keep the plant looking fresh. • Pest Resistance: Generally pest-resistant, though occasional monitoring for aphids or fungal issues is advised.
