Tips on How to Grow Cupids Dart
Cupid's Dart are started from seed. They can be directly seeded into your flower garden, or started indoors for transplanting later. If started early, they can bloom the first year. For an early start, Plant them indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area.
Cover Cupid's Dart seeds lightly with soil, about 1/8". Space seeds 3"-4" apart. Thin seedlings to 12" apart.
Cupid's Dart are easy to grow. They prefer full sun, and a rich, well drained soil. They are a drought tolerant plant. Water them during dry periods, once or twice per week. Add a general purpose fertilizer once a month.
Cupid's Dart will grow up to two feet. They produce blue flowers on thin, wiry stems. Leaves are thin and grayish green in color. After flowers have died, pinch off the dead flower heads to promote new blooms.
Cupid's Dart are resistant to insects and disease. Mildew problems may occur in warm, humid weather. If insect or disease problems occur, treat early with organic or chemical insect repellents and fungicide.
