Saving seed
Pacific Beauty Mix contains more than one genetic line or species. Seed collected from the planting will not reproduce the original packet proportions. If saving seed, identify species separately, prevent unwanted crossing where possible, harvest only fully mature seed, dry thoroughly, and label each lot by species, year, and source.
Common problems
Common concerns: damping-off from saturated media; poor emergence from wrong temperature or depth; leggy seedlings from weak light; crowding and weak airflow; lodging in wind or rain; feeding damage from slugs, caterpillars, beetles, or mammals; foliar disease under prolonged leaf wetness. Management: use clean media, the sowing depth and temperature, strong light, appropriate thinning, and morning irrigation at soil level. Match support to plant height before wind becomes a problem. Inspect regularly and use the least disruptive control appropriate to the pest, plant, and pollinator setting. Remove diseased debris and rotate annual flower beds where recurring disease is severe.
