How to Plant and Care for Bee Balm Judith's Fancy Fuchsia Seeds
Starting Seeds
Sow Bee Balm seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use a seed-starting mix and lightly press the seeds into the soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist and warm (around 65-70°F or 18-21°C). Germination usually takes 10-14 days.
Transplanting Seedlings
Once the danger of frost has passed, transplant your seedlings outdoors. Choose a spot with well-draining soil and full sun or partial shade. Space the plants 18-24 inches apart to give them room to grow and spread.
Watering
Bee Balm Judith's Fancy Fuchsia enjoys consistently moist soil but does not tolerate standing water. Water deeply at the base of the plant, ensuring that the soil remains evenly moist. Avoid wetting the foliage to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
Lighting
This variety thrives in full sun to partial shade. While it prefers full sun for the best bloom, it can also grow well in shadier spots, making it a versatile choice for different garden conditions.
Fertilizing
Feed Bee Balm Judith's Fancy Fuchsia with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth with fewer blooms.
Pruning
Prune the plant back after the blooming period to maintain its shape and encourage fresh growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems to help the plant conserve energy for the next growing season.
