Growing in Pakistan
Black Beauty is a warm-season annual that grows well across Pakistan with succession planting. Sow February to April in plain regions (Punjab, Sindh) for spring-to-summer blooms, and September to October for autumn flowers. In cooler northern hill areas, sow April to June for summer flowering. Direct-sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants 12–18 inches apart for branching plants with full bouquet harvests. Germination takes 7–10 days at 68–77°F (20–25°C). Water consistently and feed with balanced fertilizer at sowing and again at 30 days. Cut stems frequently to encourage more branches and a longer harvest window.
