3. Planting Instructions:
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart 🌍.

4. Watering Requirements:
Water regularly 💧 but allow the soil to dry out between waterings once the plants are established.

5. Germination Time:
Butterfly flower seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
