| Garden balsam seeds may be started indoors four to six weeks before the last frost is due, or sown directly in the garden after all danger of frost is past. Space the plants 18 inches apart so that they can develop properly and display their flowers, which have a tendency to be hidden beneath the foliage. Balsams of all varieties can be transplanted easily, even when in blossom, if lifted with a ball of soil.
