Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-21 days at 65-70°F.

Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant to individual pots or harden off and move to the garden. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Mature plants tolerate dry spells but benefit from occasional watering during extreme heat.
