Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Plant in fertile soil, well-drained soil.
Planting & Growing: To Start Outdoors Sow in a well-protected, fine textured seed bed once frost danger is past. Cover seeds very lightly with fine soil and keep evenly moist until germination occurs. Tend the tiny seedlings carefully and when large enough to handle, thin or transplant 8-10" apart.
Best to Start Indoors Start indoors in early spring, spacing seeds 1/2-1" apart in a container of seed starting mix. Cover very lightly, no more than 1/8" and keep evenly moist but not soggy as germination takes 14-28 days. Provide a strong light source for seedlings. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant to a deeper flat 3" apart or individual 3-4" pots. When plants are several inches tall, gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions, then plant in full sun 10-12" apart.
